The butterfly is seen from directly above, with its wings spread wide and filling most of the page. Its left and right halves mirror each other perfectly. Down the center runs its body: a small round head, an oval-shaped chest, and a long, slender tail that tapers to a point and is marked with a few thin bands. Two long, thin antennae curve upward and outward from its head, each ending in a small oval knob. The upper wings are large and wide, with softly pointed outer corners, like the sails of a ship. Each is framed by a thick outer outline, with a thinner line running just inside it to form a narrow border. Inside, a series of gently curved lines stretch across the wing like the rungs of a ladder, dividing it into long, stripe-like panels. Near the body, each upper wing holds a large teardrop-shaped panel, nestled inside a curved crescent, like a petal cupped inside another petal.

The lower wings are slightly smaller, with wavy outer edges that end in graceful curled tips at the bottom, like the hook of a fern or the swirl of a ribbon. They also have a double-line border. Near the body, each holds a rounded, cloud-like panel with two soft bumps. From there, curved lines fan outward to the wing’s edge, dividing it into sections like the ribs of a paper fan.
