Common Lime Butterfly

Papilio demoleus

Description:

Vividly coloured in black, white, orange and mustard-yellow.

Habitat:

It settled on the leaves of an ornamental palm tree in my garden...and sat there motionless for hours together.

Notes:

Winter is setting in...I think these butterflies are ending their cycle of life.
