Pachliopta Hector Linnaeus (Old: Tros Hector Linnaeus)
Glossy black with two white bands on the fore wings and bright crimson spots on the tailed hind wings. Wing span: 90-110 mm
Mainly in India and Sri Lanka
This is a fresh one and it is his first day out of the pupa. That is why the colours are so bright.
