The Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing is available in New Horizons wherever there are any exotic flowers, such as hybrids. We recommend that you plant loads of different flower variations, which tends to attract rarer critters.
It’s absolutely massive as well, almost the same size as the Atlas Moth, so you may struggle to miss it.
You will, of course, need at least a flimsy net to catch a Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing. If you’re really struggling to catch one, don’t forget to just run in and out of the screen until one spawns.
