With its large yellow wings veined with black and its blue and red eyespots, the swallowtail is one of the most beautiful butterflies in our gardens. Easily recognizable, it attracts the eye when it pollinates flowers or flies gracefully in the sun.
Found across much of Europe, it thrives in flowery meadows, vegetable gardens, and open spaces. Surprisingly, its caterpillar, green with black stripes and orange dots, feeds primarily on plants in the Apiaceae family, such as fennel and dill. To protect itself, it has a small orange organ called an osmeterium, which releases an odor that deters predators. This cycle of transformation, from egg to butterfly, perfectly illustrates the metamorphosis of insects.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the swallowtail butterfly: vibrant colors, finely detailed wings, and a realistic silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of garden animals, invent light and poetic stories, or educate children about the wonders of biodiversity.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
