I have no clue with this one, maybe it's a Papilio or a nymphalid? Displayed at an incredibly realistic diorama about African Rainforest in a natural history museum.  |

I can't be sure about this one, it might not be a P. dardanus female, hard to tell from the photo.

I don't know with what other it can be confused ? I don't know either, but I didn't want to be definitive when I couldn't see enough from the photo to be confident in my opinion. I am not familiar enough with the African models of dardanus to be able to tell from the parts of the wings that are in focus whether the specimen is definitely dardanus or not. Adam. |

nothing else for me .... (it is surely not an Euphaedra or a Danaid)

I agree that all shown are definitely dardanus females.

This is a specimen that I placed on the setting board this morning. It is a Papilio dardanus dardanus and is the female form niobe. The specimen comes from Kakamega Forest, Kenya.
Papilio dardanus is famous for its numerous female forms as seen in the previous photos in these threads.
