Here is one such species, the Krishna Peacock (Papilio krishna). It ranges from E. Himalaya, NE India, N. Myanmar, SW China to N. Thailand, but the subspecies shown here (krishna) is endemic to E. Himalaya, NE India and NW Myanmar. This image was created from a specimen in Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. I hope that someone on this group will some day post an image as beautiful as this one, taken in nature.-- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Post-doctoral Research Fellow (Kronforst Lab) FAS Center for Systems Biology Harvard University 52 Oxford St Northwest Lab Room 458.40-3 Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.
