Bigger Queen Alexandra’s Bird Wing Butterfly
The butterfly used in the Basic Earth Elements logo.
 
           Butterflies have for many centuries been symbolic of: Beauty, Freedom, and Eternal Life.

The Queen Alexandra’s Bird Wing Butterfly is the rarest butterfly on earth, as well as the largest.

          A female’s wingspan can be as wide as 12 inches, her body more than 3"inches in length. Males are slightly smaller.

          This beautiful, but endangered, gift of nature lives only high in the rainforest canopy of New Guinea.

          Females wear brown wings marked with white, her body is cream colored.

          Males also have brown wings with bright, almost fluorescent green marking.

          The 27 eggs laid during the female’s short 90 day life-span hatch into a black larva covered in red tentacles. The larva then feed off the poison stem of a "Pipe Vine” plant for approximately 6 weeks while developing to a gold tan scaled pupa which four weeks afterward transforms into the butterfly.

          Each of Queen Alexandra’s Bird Wing Butterflies loses its life to a predator bird or animal. By its sacrifice gives a gift to the others if its species. The toxins ingested during its larva stage feeding on the Pipe Vine, although not deadly to its killer will cause it to become violently ill. Remembering the unpleasant experience causes the predator to lose it’s taste for butterflies.

          Queen Alexandra, wife of King Edward VII, was known for her kind and caring love of children.

           Rain Forest destruction for Oil Palm Tree Plantation expansion has reduced specie habitat to less than 100 sq. kilometers.

 Blessed Be, and Please  Harm Nothing.
