The Purple Emperor is usually a magnificent and elusive insect that is certainly actively sought after by the many subjects of "His Majesty", as the male butterfly is affectionately known. This butterfly spends the vast majority of it is time inside the woodland canopy where it feeds on aphid honeydew, while using occasional close encounter when it reaches down to go after sap runs or, in the case of a mans, animal droppings, carrion or moist ground offering much-needed salts and minerals. People who make pilgrimages to determine this spectacular creature usually attempt to lure the males down on the canopy using all manner of temptations - including banana skins and shrimp paste.

This purple emperor butterfly male is among the most breathtaking from all of the butterflies based in the British Isles. From certain angles it seems like to have black wings intersected with white bands. However, if the wings are near a certain angle on the sun, the most beautiful purple sheen is displayed, a consequence of light being refracted on the structures on the wing scales. The female, on the other hand, is a deep brown and have purple sheen based in the male.
