Graphium evemon Boisduval, 1836

OCCURENCE

Habitat: Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Lowland
This butterfly inhabits primary rainforest and is a very conspicuous insect. Adults fly swiftly through the forest several metres above the ground. Males sometimes imbibe moisture from creek beds, together with other Graphium species. According to Tsukada and Nishiyama (1982) the species flies in the afternoon, while the parapatric G. androcles flies in the morning at the same localities.
(IUCN 2020)

Population: This species is not uncommon throughout much of its range and may be common at times.
Range: This species is endemic to the Sulawesi region, Indonesia. It is known from the northern arm of Sulawesi, from a small area in central Sulawesi and Buton Island, a distribution which suggests it may be more widespread than currently known. The extent of occurrence cannot be accurately estimated but is certainly in excess of the threshold 20,000 km².
