Beautiful examples of Pachliopta aristolochiae (Common Rose Butterfly) feeding.




This Hypolimnas bolina butterfly perched on my glasses .. it's also known as 'The Great Egg Fly' .. silly name, but it's not my fault ..

This one, in flight, is known as Idea Leuconoe or the Paper Kite butterfly .. it flies with leisurely wing flaps, and is a rather large butterfly.

This is a 'Parthenos sylvia', also known as a Clipper butterfly .. difficult to take a photo of since it's constantly in motion.


some more photos of the same species ..





I forget which one these caterpillars belong to ..

but this one definitely belongs to the kite wing

some pupae too .. the one with the gold flecks is the Kite Wing, the others ... mm .. forgot!
