Polydamas Swallowtail - Battus polydamas (Papilionidae, Papilioninae, Troidini) 110n-1071

I was enjoying a cold drink on a hot day in northern Costa Rica when a large, tailless swallowtail settled on an ornamental shrub right in front of me. It appeared to be freshly-emerged and still in perfect condition, perhaps pausing to rest for a moment on its maiden flight.
