A female Great Mormon butterfly
In the Great Mormon butterfly, papilio agenor agenor, the female is polymorphic having several forms which differ in colour and the presence or absence of "tails".
I've noticed only 2 forms in the females which visit our garden, e.g. this one with tails and a tellow abdomen. This may be the "distantianus" form.
