Papilio demoleus
60 mm widespan. Little yellow and blue spot in the lower edge of the wings Order: Lepidoptera Family: Papilionidae Genus: Papilio Species: P. demoleus Binomial name Papilio demoleus Linnaeus, 1758
close to the shore
I don't personally know the species in the philippines but it resembles very much the swallow tails I find in Italy :) maybe an expert could help more
Tnx, @Adriano. That was my first impression too, but I have a doubt; P. demoleus has an "eye" close to the costa that I can't see in may pic. Is not important for this Species? I have comtemplated some sp. of the graphium genus, but I believe that papilio looks closer...
