Our second sighting of a Tropical Swallowtail moth; this one a light shade of brown, wingspan 14 cm (5.5 inches).
Hills overlooking Manila.
Thanks Dangermouse! Will keep my eyes peeled for another one :-)
Wow, you can really see the size of him here! Amazing! And a nice series of photos too. This has just become one of my favourite moths, I think!
Welcome..!!
Thanks AshishNimkar!
Nice presentation of great pictures..!!
Haha, yeah, I saw that after I posted. I looked up more information about it and I saw the common name--which calls it a butterfly. Silly me.
Actually a moth - which helps blow away the myth that moths are always duller-looking than butterflies! :-)
Wow. That is just a strikingly beautiful butterfly.
