Papilio demoleus
I've seen a couple of these butterflies before but they are always flying so fast all I can manage is a black blur with a indecipherable white spot. This is the best photo I have managed so far. Probably a Common Lime, but then that is surprising as I haven't seen any since Chinese New Year when their host plant (the lime) abounded.

Welcome @duttagupa35504
Thanks IrishMagallanesSequihod for the confirmation of ID. I thought it was but since I haven't seen any lately I wasn't sure, also, wasn't sure about the red spot on the wing.
Looks like its a Lime Swallow Tail, Papilio demoleus
