Papilio homerus, commonly known as the Homerus swallowtail or Jamaican swallowtail, is the largest butterfly species in the Western Hemisphere. The species is endangered and faces a potentially bleak future. Only two small populations of the Homerus swallowtail remain in a fraction of their original environment. It is endemic to Jamaica where the butterfly simultaneously serves as an icon of national pride and a need for conservation efforts. Over the past half century, the Jamaican swallowtail has been featured on various postal stamps and the Jamaican $1000 bill. In the face of rapid habitat destruction from human disruption and illegal collecting, the Jamaican swallowtail is listed on the Threatened Swallowtail Butterflies of the World by the International Union for Conservation of Natu

  • Papilio homerus, commonly known as the Homerus swallowtail or Jamaican swallowtail, is the largest butterfly species in the Western Hemisphere. The species is endangered and faces a potentially bleak future. Only two small populations of the Homerus swallowtail remain in a fraction of their original environment. It is endemic to Jamaica where the butterfly simultaneously serves as an icon of national pride and a need for conservation efforts. Over the past half century, the Jamaican swallowtail has been featured on various postal stamps and the Jamaican $1000 bill. In the face of rapid habitat destruction from human disruption and illegal collecting, the Jamaican swallowtail is listed on the Threatened Swallowtail Butterflies of the World by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (Red List) and is protected under international and national level legislation. The butterfly is named in honor of the Greek poet Homer. The adult butterfly has been described by researchers as “gigantic and magnificent." Females are larger than males and can have a wingspan of 15 cm (6 in). Adults can be seen from morning to afternoon soaring among the canopy of the Neotropical Jamaican rainforests. Its brown-black wings feature a large yellow band and blue and red spotting, making the butterfly easy to spot from far away. Given the low population and the intense terrain in its forested habitats, few studies of the Jamaican swallowtails have aided to construct a basic biological and ecological understanding of the species. Additionally, very little is known about the swallowtail's behavior. Researchers who study the species all agree that further study is needed to inform and promote an effective conservation strategy for the survival of the butterfly. (en)
  • La farfalla Omero (Papilio homerus Fabricius, 1793), con i suoi 140 mm di apertura alare, è una delle più grandi farfalle dell'intera fauna neotropicale. Si tratta di un vistoso rappresentante (una della sessantina circa di specie conosciute del Nuovo Mondo) della notissima e popolare famiglia dei Papilionidi (che annovera in tutto il mondo centinaia di grandi e coloratissime farfalle - basti pensare ai generi Papilio, Ornithoptera, Parnassius, Parides - molto ricercate dai collezionisti). Questa splendida farfalla gialla e nera, dalle larghe ali e dalle lunghe cospicue «code», è confinata esclusivamente nell'isola della Giamaica (Caraibi), e rappresenta quindi un endemismo stretto di questa isola (le specie ad essa più vicine sono le congeneri P. gammarus e P. abderus, che vivono in Messico).

  • Papilio homerus – gatunek motyla z rodziny paziowatych (Papilionidae). Występuje wyłącznie na Jamajce, szczególnie w Górach Błękitnych na wschodzie wyspy, oraz w lasach położonych w jej zachodniej części. Gatunek ten uważany jest za największego przedstawiciela rzędu Lepidoptera na półkuli zachodniej. Osiąga on bowiem średnią rozpiętość skrzydeł do 15 cm. Papilio homerus jest gatunkiem zagrożonym wyginięciem. Jest on bowiem gatunkiem endemicznym, mającym obecnie tylko dwie swoje populacje. Jednym z głównych zagrożeń jest dla niego komercyjne rolnictwo. (pl)
  • Pterourus homerus (denominada popularmente, em inglês, Homerus swallowtail ou Jamaican giant swallowtail) é uma borboleta neotropical da família Papilionidae e subfamília Papilioninae, endêmica da Jamaica (nas Antilhas, América Central). Foi classificada por Johan Christian Fabricius, com a denominação de Papilio homerus, em 1793. Suas lagartas se alimentam de plantas do gênero Hernandia (família Hernandiaceae). Esta espécie é considerada, por alguns autores, uma das maiores dentro da família Papilionidae e a maior borboleta do hemisfério ocidental ou do Novo Mundo, sendo também considerada uma espécie em perigo. O seu nome deriva do poeta épico da Grécia Antiga, Homero. (pt)
