White Dragontail

Lamproptera curius

Description:

light blue band on wings, 2" long tails, not 100% of the species, maybe L. meges?

Habitat:

tropical forest near water

Notes:

I spotted this along a river near the city of Tuy Hoa. There were quite a few butterflies around but I only saw one of these. It was the first time I had ever seen one and I chased it around to get just a couple shots before it flew far off. One of the coolest butterflies I have ever seen.
