Papilio godeffroyi (Godeffroy's Swallowtail)

Wikipedia Abstract

Papilio godeffroyi, the Godeffroy's swallowtail, (Samoan pepe ae) is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. Papilio godeffroyi is endemic to all of Samoa, but it is now found only on the island of Tutuila, where it is uncommon but widespread and restricted to undisturbed or near-undisturbed rainforest. This is only around 5% of its original range, and the species has recently been submitted to the IUCN Red List as critically endangered. The larva feeds on Micromelum minutum (Rutaceae), locally called talafalu.
