Well, since no one has yet posted any pictures
of Papilio hermeli it looks like I'm doing so.
Here's the one fine example which I have of
the (male) of the species. Females are TRULY
outstanding but, they are pricier and I have yet
to find an acceptable example.

Was lucky enough to get a female of the spring form a few years ago. As you say truly outstanding.
