| | | | | | 1.  trsmurali (2931) | 3 years ago |  Queen Alexandra's Birdwing, (Ornithoptera alexandrae, syn: Zeunera alexandrae) is the largest butterfly in the world.
The species was named by L. W. Rothschild in 1907, in honour of Queen Alexandra, wife of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom. The first specimen was discovered and captured in 1906 by Albert Stewart Meek. It is native to the forests of Oro Province in eastern Papua New Guinea.
Though most authorities now classify this species in the genus Ornithoptera, it was formerly often placed in the genus Troides, and in 2001 the lepidopterist Gilles Deslisle proposed placing it in its own genus, Zeunera.
