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.
This was taken at Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve, Tai Po, Hong Kong. This female butterfly here is feeding on 紅花假馬鞭 Pink Rat Tail.
Fung Yuen Valley has been listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) since 1980 to reflect "its importance as a major breeding site for butterflies".

Yet behind their determination lies a quiet struggle—they work tirelessly to build a better life, but often forget how to pause, breathe, and discover what true happiness means beyond money.
ps: info of the lens is incorrect. It was a vintage lens, probably a Takumar, at around 50mm, f1.?.
