Crimson Rose

Pachliopta hector

Description:

Pic 1 and 2 - Male. Pic 3,4,5 and 6 - Female.

Habitat:

Roadside

Notes:

The female is the same specimen in the previous spotting where it's mating. In these pics, it's laying eggs before it was attacked. The male individual was found on the main road, surprisingly without any visible damage. It was probably hit by a vehicle and fell. We left it in a tree nearby as it was still alive at that time.
