It is great to see a specimen I collected so well spread and looked after.

This species mimics the two local Atrophaneura species.

Thanks Adam. A pleasure to own a specimen that you personally collected. This is a particularly lovely Swallowtail I think. Beautiful specimen too.

Here's a photo of a female caught just a few km west of the male above:

The female mimics Byasa polyeuctes.
