tipsthetty

Tipsthetty is a rare and distinctively marked butterfly species found primarily in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Scientifically known as Corgus Tipsthetty, this species belongs to the swallowtail family of butterflies, Papilionidae. The vibrant orange and black coloration of its wings serves as a striking example of natural camouflage, making the Tipsthetty an elusive species.

Adult Tipsthetty butterflies have a distinctive wing pattern featuring elongated tails and a notable black band at the base of the wings. The orange coloration of the wings appears to be less prominent when the butterfly is viewed in sunlight, while the black markings stand out more clearly. The sexes of the Tipsthetty can be distinguished based on differences in wing markings.

Researchers have observed Tipsthetty butterflies to inhabit areas with lush vegetation and mild temperatures, often conversing near sources of water. Their basic flight patterns have been observed as involving slow and deliberate movements through dense foliage.

Research on the Tipsthetty is hindered by the rarity and difficulty in finding the species in the wild. Prior entomological observations do not definitively establish the natural habitats, diets, or behavior patterns of this butterfly species. However limited observations indicate the Tipsthetty lives a solitary life, most likely found in tropical monsoon forests which include the tree species Ficus, Dillenia and Callophyllum.
