The spectacular Five-bar Swordtail Butterfly in Borneo Once again, although I am sure that everyone has their own ideas, I would vote for this one as one of the most beautiful butterflies anywhere. Amazingly, they are not that uncommon and you can see them, like this fellow, hanging around the lodge (which was admittedly in the middle of the jungle!).
