I consider this species to be the most beautiful of all the Troides.

Re: Troides hypolitus
This species is indeed one of the nicest to encounter.
However, in my humble opinion I have always found Troides amphrysus and Troides prattorum to be the grandest of the troides grouping.
Great specimens as always Dave !

I have both those species & they are beautiful. I agree.
I suppose its always going to come down to personal choice.
