Unidentified butterfly and Tailed Jay (Graphium agamemnon)

in the glasshouse at RHS Wisley

It wasn't really wee-ing on me...that was the waste that had accumulated while it was in the pupa. Wasn't disgusted because it looked like water. If it was brown, I would have been repulsed.

Looking well-fed

very hyperactive butterfly - drove me mad trying to get a shot as it was never still. Even when it landed its wings never stopped fluttering.

The night before, the wings were already visible through the thin membrane.

It was moving VERY fast and I was frustrated because this was one of the rare times that it had its wings unfolded.

When I stepped into the kitchen at 5:33am on the 9th of August. I had set the alarm at 5:30am and it was already too late.

The last photo taken of Darth Maul before I took it outside and it flew off into the darkness. I wanted a better background (green leaves, etc), but the morning was dark and overcast. Darth Maul wanted to fly off before it was bright enough.
