Many consider the Purple Emperor is affectionately known as "His Majesty". The Purple Emperor is one of the most admired and most sought British butterflies by butterfly watchers, breeders, photographers and general naturalists alike. Many believe it to be a great rarity, and even people with only a passing interest in butterflies will make annual pilgrimages to its sites to glimpse it. In fact it is far from rare, but it is elusive in nature. It is the second-largest species in Britain (the largest being the Swallowtail). The deep purple sheen on the wings of the male is only visible from certain angles, and under certain lighting conditions.

In a butterfly house, it is important for the live butterflies to remain in the house until they die. Not all of the species in a given butterfly house are native to that given area. If they escaped, they would not only interfere with the ecosystem in that area, but they probably would not be able to survive.
