Common Mormon female mimicking

Papilio polytes romulus female forma polytes

Description:

Speaking of mimics: This female Common Mormon mimics the female Common Rose (P. aristolochiae) nearly perfectly. Just: Common Rose has 5 white discal spots and Common Mormon has spot number one totally pink and spot number two partially pink. That is the way to surely ID these two beautiful female butterflies.

Habitat:

Garden and forest
