[edit] Wrong picture

While I'm no Ornithoptera expert, I'm quite sure that the pictured species is not O. alexandrae. Definite pictures of the species, both male and female, can be found here – and very close to natural size BTW; a touch larger perhaps. Looks more like O. goliath (picture) to me, though I'm rather oblivious to all possible confusion species. These too seem to be close to natural size, but the text seems to have the sexes confused (the picture's got it right). --Anshelm '77 02:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

i have had similar thoughts. I don't think too that this is O. alexandrae. --Melly42 08:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, the new picture likely has the right species. But like I said I'm no expert. --Anshelm '77 20:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
