Thank you Mona. Thank you Agnes, as well, for helping me identify these species. :)))
Hi agravate! Another great spotting!
Kindly check Papilio memnon (http://en.butterflycorner.net/Papilio-me...) vs. Papilio rumanzovia (http://www.butterflycorner.net/papilio-r...).
Also, from the Philippine butterfly list, Papilio memnon exists in wild only in Tawi-Tawi. (http://pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/phil...)
