Hypolitus has more ornamental hindwings than most Troides species which are typically black or brown and yellow only. The forewings of all Troides species are very similar and many species have the veins outlined with lighter shades of gray or brown. This pair is from Indonesia. The male is at the top and the female is at the bottom. |
