The White Dragontail, Lamproptera curius curius (Fabricius)

This butterfly ressembles very much its larger cousin L. meges and is found in the same vicinities and  has the same habits. It can be distinguished by its white discal band on its hindwings instead of green in L. meges and is decidedly a smaller insect.
