Common Mormons Courting

Papilio polytes

Description:

Through these pictures you can clearly tell the sexual dimorphism between male and female: for most of them, the female is laying down, possibly gathering her eggs in preparation for mating. If they did mate, we didn't see, they flew up after sometime.

Habitat:

Seen at Bukit Brown Cemetery

Notes:

They were so graceful: almost like a ballet.
