A Lime Butterfly(Papilio demoleus) made a brief appearance visiting the potted plants outside my flat this morning. This species is commonly found in Singapore in forested and urban areas in Singapore. It is fast flying and hyper-active and easier to approach for photographic captures during the cooler hours in the morning and late afternoon, when they retire to rest among the foliage. Both sexes are black with yellow spots and markings, some of which forming an irregular and intermittent macular band running across the forewing to the mid-dorsum of the hindwing. A submarginal series of smaller yellow spots can be found on both wings. On the hindwing, there is a red spot in both sexes. In the male, this spot is capped with a narrow blue lunule with a very narrow intervening black gap. In contrast, the red spot and the blue lunule in the female have a rather large black spot between them.
