Chris,
Superb, thanks for posting all these photos here for us to see.
The Papilio laglaizei female looks as though it has just emerged from its pupa and is not yet ready to fly.
Adam.

Adam. You are right, the female lagleizei has just emerged. Larvae and pupae of this species are consumed by locals around Koinambe and are more commonly seen than adults.

Olivier, when Delias are around it's always difficult to choose camera over net! After catching this beauty my hands were trembling.. Attachments:
