 Female butterflies tend to be larger than males.As with most butterflies, various predators, parasitoids and diseases attack "Papilio demodocus", so that integrated pest management is generally the most rational approach to control of infestations, paying due attention to avoiding destruction of the populations of enemies.In particular parasitic wasps in the family Encyrtidae, such as some species of the genus "Ooencyrtus" develop in "Papilio" eggs.
