The Cairns Birdwing (Ornithoptera priamus) is the largest butterfly in Australia
with a wingspan of over 16 cm (6 ½ inches). The upper wings of the
males are black with emerald green steaks across the length of the pointed
wing. The female lacks the green but makes up for it with her greater size.
Both sexes have yellow bodies with a bright red thorax (the body part just
behind the head).
