The Magellan birdwing is endemic to Orchid Island,

on the ventral sides of the male lower wings.

有些沒有標示蝴蝶性別,
因為雌雄相似,或是圖片裡的性徵不明顯

Note
Some butterflies are not marked to indicate their genders,
because males and females look similar,
or because their sexual features are note apparent in the picture.

The answer is available
on the website of the Life Science Museum of Academia Sinica, Taiwan.
