Troides darsius
Restless. Large. Black forewing. Hindwings bright yellow and black. Touch of red on body.
I was quite foxed to see it on a Bougainvillea...always thought these tiny flowers were all show (with coloured bract) and no nectar. This was just opposite the Ravana Falls and right on the road.
One of the largest butterflies of Sri Lanka. Also called Sri Lankan Birdwing.
