Orchard Swallowtail Butterfly

Papilio aegeus

Notes:

These butterflies are big - wingspan around 14cm - but it is SO difficult to get shots of them! Their flight is extremely erratic, they cover a lot of ground in a short space of time and they almost never rest! One of these days I'm going to get some better shots. : )
