Nan aparans papiyon yo genyen yon divèsite enkwayab. Nou jwenn yo nan plizyè fòm e dimansyon, e n'ap jwenn yo nan tout koulè lakansyèl la. Pi piti papiyon an se Sinayi baton ble a (Pseudophilotes sinaicus). Gwosè zèl li yo (soti nan pwent yon zèl rive nan pwent lòt zèl la) se 0,25 pous (6,25 milimèt), ki se pi piti pase yon santim. Pi gwo papiyon an se zèl zwazo Renn Aleksandri a (Ornithoptera alexandrae). Gwosè zèl li yo (soti nan pwent yon zèl rive nan pwent lòt zèl la) se 12,5 pous (31,8 santimèt).
