The Great Mormon butterfly
* Well my stream has emerged again I hope you are all back on stream Its all a bit slow but hopefully it will improve bit by bit
You will have noticed that a my images from Thailand are not great for people who prefer nature shots. However just for a change I did get at least one butterfly capture . The great Mormon butterfly was quite spectacular certainly the largest butterfly I have ever seen . It was flying along the banks of the river where we bathing elephants . So I had to get out the river pretty sharpish to grab this shot
Papilio memnon, the great Mormon, is a large butterfly native to southern Asia that belongs to the swallowtail family. It is widely distributed and has thirteen subspecies. The female is polymorphic and with mimetic forms.The butterfly is large with a 120 to 150 millimetres (4.7 to 5.9 in) wingspan . I believe this is the Male (form agenor)
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
