It is sometimes confused with the more widespread P. palinurus, but that species is smaller and has mostly black tails (in P. blumei, the upper surface of the tails is mostly bluish-green).The wingspan of P. blumei is 120–140 mm (4.7–5.5 in).The colors on the wings of some of these butterflies are metallic and are eye catchy especially when viewed from a particular angle.The remarkable feature of this butterfly’s wing is that it contains rows of very small concave surfaces that reflect light in many ways.For instance, the center of the concave surface reflects a yellow-green light and the edges reflect a blue light.At the center of the concavity, light is reflected directly but when light hits the edges, it bounces off into forming many layers, which amplifies and rotates the waves of light.The final blend is known as structural color due to the complexity by which it is produced."@en }
