A Large and Adaptable Swallowtail Butterfly
Common Mormon( female)
Scientific name: Papilio polytes
Notable for its swift and erratic flight, it flits rapidly between flowers, often making it a challenge to photograph. One of the most fascinating aspects of this species is the diversity of female forms—known as polymorphism—found across its range
