"Butterfly Papilio Ulysses" is an illustration by the Irish natural history illustrator, Edward Donovan (1768–1837), who was known for his detailed and colorful representations of various species in his works on entomology and zoology. This particular illustration depicts the Ulysses butterfly (Papilio ulysses), also known as the Blue Mountain Butterfly or the Blue Mountain Swallowtail, which is a large swallowtail butterfly native to Australasia.

Donovan's illustration is likely to have been included in one of his comprehensive natural history works, such as "The Natural History of British Insects" (1792–1813) or "An Epitome of the Natural History of the Insects of New Holland, New Zealand, New Guinea, Otaheite, and other Islands in the Indian, Southern, and Pacific Oceans" (1805), which featured the first scientific descriptions and illustrations of many insect species from these regions. His works were notable for their combination of scientific detail and artistic appeal, making them valuable to both the scientific community and the general public of his time.

The "Butterfly Papilio Ulysses" illustration would have been based on specimens and descriptions available to Donovan, and it would have contributed to the dissemination of knowledge about the species during the early 19th century. The Ulysses butterfly, with its vibrant blue wings, is a subject that would have showcased Donovan's skill in rendering the intricate patterns and colors of insects. His work remains significant as a historical record of biodiversity and the practice of natural history illustration during the period.
