The Papilio rumanzovia, commonly known as the Scarlet Mormon or Red Mormon, is a striking butterfly in the family Papilionidae. Found primarily in the Philippines and surrounding regions, this large butterfly is known for its sexual dimorphism. Males have velvety black wings with subtle red markings, while females exhibit more pronounced red and white patterns, mimicking toxic butterflies for protection. They inhabit tropical forests, gardens, and plantations, often seen fluttering near nectar-rich flowers. The caterpillars feed on citrus plants, making them both a pollinator and a potential pest in some areas. Their beauty and mimicry highlight their ecological and evolutionary significance.
