Papilio machaon
(also known as the Old World swallowtail butterfly)
This illustration is a sneak peek from a book my best friend and I are crafting—a journey into the curious and uncommon names of animals, all in the charming Polish language.
One star of our collection is the Papilio machaon - in Polish "Paź Królowej," which translates to "Queen's Attendant" in English.
This name perfectly captures the essence of this butterfly's elegance.
Our book unveils the captivating stories behind such unique names, weaving cultural tales and biological wonders.
Together, we'll discover the secrets these names hold, as we celebrate the beauty and history of creatures that adorn our world.
