Papilio nireus pseudonireus
The butterfly is about 7 to 8 cm large (with open wings). He is black with blue drawings.
Spotted on a waterfall on the road to Jimma, Ethiopia.
Bayucca thanks for the interesting site,
I have found about 4-species similar to those that I spotted, I guess it will be hard to pick the right one .. especially because I couldn't get a picture with full open wings ... btw I don't think this is far from your usual range, you always put me on the right track ...;))
Thank you Shameerzaman,
but it is very pity that he did not want to open his beautiful wings as he sat down, I kept on trying without success :-) but that's nature !!
