Butterflies abound in Kamoro-land but have not been studied or catalogued well. These pretty insects can be highly informative in assessing the biological diverstiy of an area. The species include the most common of birdwings, Troides (Ornithoptera) priamus. The birdwings of New Guinea, all of the genus Troides, are eight in total, with six occurring or expected in the Freeport project area.
