The Queen Alexandra birdwing is the largest and rarest butterfly in the world and its scientific name is Ornithoptera alexandrae. Its wingspan is about 25 cm and is larger than the many birds. This species usually found in New Guinea and Australia and generally live in lowland tropical forest. The male and female butterfly is varying in their size, color, shape and body color; but female is larger than the male butterfly. The diet of this species consist only liquid food. This butterfly is very poisonous and so if the animals eat this butterfly will get into sick; animals may avoid eating those butterflies with similar markings in the future.
