Papilio demoleus
"Papilio demoleus is an aggressive and very common butterfly. It is perhaps the most widely distributed swallowtail in the world."
This spotting in a large semi-urban yard/garden adjacent to a disturbed patch of remnant forest.
The most colorful specimen observed so far here (underwings) therefore uploading this species as a spotting again.
