Graphium megarus
Notice the bright yellow proboscis adding a splash of color.
Seen along a trail through highland farms and secondary forest near the village of Siulak Deras on the edge of the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia.
It was enjoying the minerals unearthed by some excavating being done in the area.

It is close but no cigar I think. The family of glassy tigers is close too. This is not easy :)

Thanks! Looks good to me. I'll update it.
I can't believe that such a stunner cannot be identified. From the wing profile, the thorax spots and abdomen stripes, looks like a species of papilio graphium.
