Re: Graphium weiskeii
I cannot say I've ever seen a blue form of this butterfly but, I have seen two different versions of the purple form.
A great many are the typical deep purple coloration which is very vibrant yet others appear more lighter (pastel) in appearance. Strikingly different....
Still, that blue version is an oddity I've never encountered.
