Papilio Polytes
This butterfly was (including the wings) about 3-4 inches high. This was one big butterfly! This butterfly was black with beautiful white designs.
This picture was taken in Dairy Farm, very near Bukit Timah nature reserve. The butterfly was fluttering about the trees and bushes, and suddenly it landed near me on a damp bit on land. I think it was looking for some water since the day was hot and dry.
