Pachliopta aristolochiae, the Common Rose or Aristolochia Swallowtail, is a striking butterfly species found in tropical Asia, including India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines. Its wingspan measures 70-90 mm. The upper wings are black with white, red, and yellow markings, while the lower wings display black with red and yellow spots and a distinctive tail.

This butterfly inhabits forests, grasslands, and wetlands, typically near streams or rivers. Active during warm weather, they feed on nectar from flowers. Males engage in territorial battles, while females lay eggs on host plants, specifically Aristolochia species.

The life cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. Caterpillars feed on Aristolochia species.
