It appears on Malaysian postage stamps, in tourism literature, and is a widely recognised symbol of the country's natural heritage. The designation also serves a conservation function, drawing public attention to the species and its forest habitat. Malaysia is one of a small number of countries to have designated an official national butterfly, joining others including Bhutan (the Golden Birdwing), Japan (the large purple emperor), and Germany (the brimstone).",{"q":261,"a":262},"Where is the best place to see Rajah Brooke's birdwing?","Rajah Brooke's birdwing is most reliably seen at mineral-rich river seepages and muddy stream banks in lowland Bornean rainforest, where males congregate in groups of 5–30 to mud-puddle. Some of the most accessible and reliable sites are in Sabah (Malaysian Borneo): the Danum Valley Conservation Area, the Maliau Basin, and the Kinabatangan River valley all have documented populations. In Sarawak, the Mulu National Park and Lambir Hills offer good opportunities. On the Malay Peninsula, Fraser's Hill and Taman Negara are possibilities, though populations here are sparser.
