This swallowtail is quite common but rather seasonal, being most commonly seen in numbers during the months of March-May, coinciding with the flux of other migratory butterflies like the Lemon Emigrant and the appearance of other Graphium butterflies in moist spots along a jungle trail and recreational areas like waterfalls.
