Another one that I don't know if it's Papilionidae or Nymphalidae. Displayed at an incredibly realistic diorama about African Rainforest in a natural history museum. Any help welcome. Thanks!  |

Perhaps this is a faded orange form of female Papilio dardanus.

Hmmm, it could be, thanks! I didn't knew that females P. dardanus were soooo variable depending on the imitated species!

It's not necessarily faded - I have one or two of this yellow shade.
