The Common Clubtail, Losaria coon doubledayi (Wallace)

Principally a forest insect, it frequently "intrudes" into villages fringing forest patches and is not uncommon. It ressembles a larger version of the Common Rose and has a lofty habit of hovering over flowering bushes and tree tops of a certain height.

A male visiting flowering bushes - I mistaken it for a P. aristolochiae until I actually got a closer look of its hindwings. 26 Jan 2014 @ 12:46
