One of my favorite butterflies to photograph at Butterfly Wonderland, is the Emerald Swallowtail (Papilio palinurus) which is native to Southeast Asia. This butterfly is also known as an Emerald Peacock or Green-banded Swallowtail.
Enjoy your weekend!

What a showy beauty! And you snagged a gorgeous shot of it, too. 😀

Thank you Kathryn! They move fast and it takes a lot of patience to wait for this particular butterfly to land and be “still”.
