Description

Common Mormon Butterfly (Papilio polytes) - Kulgachia (west of Uluberia City), Howrah District, West Bengal, India - 17 November 2011

Wikipedia: This butterfly is known for the mimicry displayed by the numerous forms of its females which mimic inedible Red-bodied Swallowtails, such as the Common Rose and the Crimson Rose.

Wikipedia: The 'Common Mormon' name is a reference to the polygamy formerly practiced by members of the Mormon sect according to Harish Gaonkar, of the Natural History Museum in London: "The origins of giving common English names to organisms, particularly butterflies for tropical species started in India around the mid-19th century ... The naming of Mormons evolved slowly. I think the first to get such a name was the Common Mormon (Papilio polytes), because it had three different [mimic] females, a fact that could only have been observed in the field, and this they did in India. The name obviously reflected the ... Mormon sect in America, which as we know, practiced polygamy."
