Xuthus swallowtail

The Chinese yellow swallowtail (Papilio xuthus), too Asian swallowtail, Japanese swallowtail and xuthus swallowtail, is a yellow and black collered medium to large sized butterfly of temperate east Asia. The Chinese yellow swallowtail is found in Japan, Korean Peninsula, eastern and southern China, Taiwan, the Philippines and northern Myanmar. The butterfly is introduced in Hawaii in 1971.
This species inhabits woodland, suburban gardens, city parks and citrus orchards, at elevations between sea level and about 1000m.
With a wingspan of 6.0 - 11.5 cm the Chinese yellow swallowtail is a medium to large sized member of the family Papilonidae.
Its color pattern consists of a black pattern on a yellow background. The hind wings have a pair of protruding tails which give the butterfly its common name from the resemblance to the birds of the same name. The flight period of the butterfly is from May to August.
This picture was taken in the outdoor aviary of the "De Passiflorahoeve" (Passiflorafarm) in Harskamp, the Net herlands.

De Chinese gele page (Papilio xuthus), ook Japanse en Aziatische page genoemd, is een middelgrote tot grote geelzwarte vlinder uit gematigd oost Azië. De vlinder wordt aangetroffen in Japan, Korea, oost- en zuidoostelijk China, Taiwan, de Philipijnen en noordelijk Myanmar. De vlinder is in 1971 succesvol op Hawaï geïntroduceerd.
De vlinder komt voornamelijk voor in de valleien en bij grotere beken en rivieren, in gemengde bossen, maar ook op akkers en in parken van zeeniveau tot circa 1000 meter hoogte.
Met een vleugelspanwijdte van 6,0 à 11,5 cm is de Chinese gele page een middelgrote tot grote page (family Papilonidae).
De basiskleur van de vlinder is licht geel in verschillende tinten en meerdere zwarte patronen. De boven- en onderkant zijn vrijwel gelijk, maar de bovenkant heeft meer zwart en de onderkant meer geel. Zowel mannetjes als vrouwtjes hebben aan de achtervleugels staartjes, een kenmerk van veel pages.
De vlinders vliegen tussen mei en augustus in twee generaties.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de buitenvolière van zorgboerderij De Passiflorahoeve bij Harskamp op de Veluwe noordelijk van Arnhem. Info www.passiflorahoeve.nl/
