This Papilio paris L., or Paris peacock butterfly, is one of the digitized images being published online from the collections of the Linnean Society of London.

Butterflies and moths — many of them reference or 'type' specimens named by Carl Linnaeus — are being added to celebrate Britain's National Insect Week in late June. The society has already put plant specimens and correspondence online at http://www.linnean.org

The Paris peacock is a swallowtail butterfly native to southeast Asia.
