Beautiful!
Butterflies are such simply stunning creatures and I wish I hadv'e had a camera when I lived up in the Daintree Rainforest with all of the gorgeous Ulysses Butterflies cause they were everywhere. https://australianbutterflies.com/the-ulysses-butterfly/

So beautiful to see a different Swallowtail my friend. We have about 7 species of Swallowtails here across the country and here in our garden there are plenty of Citrus ones.
You were fortunate to live in that forest and your mind took the pictures of them.

Hope that your Friday is good and have some !WINE

Funny I have never heard them called Swallowtails before- only Ulysses...

This is my old friend Steve's Entomological museum in the Daintree. http://www.daintreemuseum.com.au/index.htm

And this is my old Friend Dean Jewell https://www.deanjewellphotography.com.au/daintree-flora-fauna

I know you'll enjoy looking through these websites!

Thank you kindly for the links and yes, they are named as Ulysses Swallotails.

I will have a look at the links a bit later.
