Citrus Swallowtail
It does not have swallow tails but it is in the Swallowtail family of butterflies. Its caterpillars feed on the leaves of Citrus trees, hence the name, but it is also known as Christmas Butterfly, because one of its three generations a year appears in late December. I photographed this flying individual in Bahar Dar in northern Ethiopia.
