Papilio demoleus
Notes (optional)
No unnecessary handling of butterflies,
please. We are trying to discourage this on our website. You can of course submit images of
butterflies in hand if that was absolutely necessary; e.g., to show ID features that are normally
not seen. However, if an image of the butterfly without a hand in the
frame is available, we will prefer that. For common species, this may easily be avoided. We will
keep older images where a hand may be seen, but going forward, please keep this in mind
while submitting images. If a butterfly is sitting on sandles or toes, that is OK
