Papilio isidorus is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae (swallowtails). The species was first described by Henry Doubleday in 1846. It is found in Central and South America.

Forewing on the under surface either without white cell spot, or the spot small, not extending transversely across the cell. Hindwing posteriorly shorter than in P. chiansiades, the tail short, narrow: the last submarginal spot more distal than the large spot placed before it. The harpe of the male not dentate.

The wingspan is about 80 mm.

The larvae feed on Citrus and Zanthoxylum species.

These earrings feature sterling silver hooks. They are designed to be very lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.
