Here is a list of articles in the Troides category of the Biology portal. The birdwings genus Troides comprises large and beautiful butterflies found in Asia. They are much sought after by collectors and depicted as a highlight to be seen during butterfly-tours of the region. They are such great economic value that they are cultivated through a people's participative community insect farming initiative in Papua and New Guinea. The genus has a large number of endemic species and its representation in an area is a good indicator of the value of the region as a biodiversity of the world.
