Graphium procles
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Graphium procles faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its Southeast Asian range, particularly affecting the lowland and hill forests where its host plants occur. Agricultural expansion and urban development have reduced available breeding sites, while climate change may be altering the distribution of its specific larval food plants. The species' relatively specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to continued forest loss in the region.
Habitat
Graphium procles inhabits tropical lowland and hill forests up to approximately 1,000 meters elevation, primarily in primary and secondary forest areas with dense canopy cover. The species requires specific host plants from the Annonaceae family for reproduction and is typically found in forest edges and clearings where these plants are abundant.
