the lime butterfly

Papilio demoleus is a common and widespread swallowtail butterfly. The butterfly is also known as the lime butterfly, lemon butterfly, lime swallowtail, and chequered swallowtail. These common names refer to their host plants, which are usually citrus species such as the cultivated lime. Unlike most swallowtail butterflies, it does not have a prominent tail. When the adult stage is taken into consideration, the line swallowtail is the shortest-lived butterfly, with male adults dying after four days and females after a week. The butterfly is a pest and invasive species, found from Asia to Australia (Wiki) #guidebook #pindleindonesia #insectname
