I just love your species reports that are enhanced with your wonderful, biotope, early stages and live Adult butterfly images. You certainly have much knowledge of the butterfly fauna of Palawan. It looks to be a wonderful butterfly Island. I look forward to see more posts just like this. As regards your post on porch light, perhaps you will retire to live there.

Superb!
Most people will know this butterfly as subspecies brevicauda, but that name is a junior homonym of Papilio brevicauda from Quebec, so cannot be used even though the two butterflies are nowadays in separate genera.

Adam. Thanks Adam, I was having trouble finding it in Butterflies of the World. who'd have thought it, I have something in common with the butterflies, a taste for San Miguel, I prefer mine ice cold and without the flowers but each to their own. Its easy to see though why there are a lot of smaller specimens around from butterfly farms, they are overcrowded somewhat and providing enough good quality, fresh young food plant for so many would be difficult, but I suppose the live exhibits aren't too bothered about size of the butterflies rather than colour, variety and willingness to fly in all weathers. Great series of photo's though. Rich

VERY impressive report, thank you Jan !
I didn't imagine it could be possible to "industrially" raise so many specimens !
