How rare is the green form of Papilio zalmoxis in the wild. Does any collector here have any females to show. I expect they are rare in collections.  |

I must admit I have never heard of a green form before. It is either a colour aberration or chemically induced. I noticed that nireus blue bands turn green when exposed to chlorocresol in a relaxing box.

I also have a green male that I bought in the late 1970's.

Interesting ... we all learn something new, and that is why it is such a great hobby.
