Butterfly Photo Contest Contest Entry 
The Queen Alexandra's birdwing was discovered by English naturalist and wildlife collector Albert Stewart Meek in 1906. Working for a rich collector, Meek collected the first specimen by shooting it. It says much about the butterfly's size that there was anything left to collect!

The butterfly was later named after Edward VII's wife, Alexandra of Denmark. (Edward VII was King of England at the time of the butterfly's discovery).

This is the Male which is smaller than the female but more brightly colored.
