The upper side of its wings is blue and has the lustre of
metals. There are orange spots in the tornus of its hind wings and a long and a short tail
separately, the end of which are white. The under sides of the wings are light yellow and
are decorated with red stripes. Silver swine stripes overarching the red stripes. When
they stay quiet, their wings will stand up on their backs. The black and red ring in the
tornus of its hind wings look quite like a head. The 4 tailes shake slightly appears to be
a real head. Actually, the part that shakes is only the tail; its real head and antennae
remain motionless. If its enemy attacks on it at this time, its false head will attract
the enemy's attention. Before its enemy can recognize this, Spindasis lohita would have
escaped. Even its enemy really attacks on the false head; it can only harm part of its
hind wings, the spindasis lohita will save its life.
