Back Outside - _TNY_3824

This beauty with a damaged wing is a banded swallowtail (Papilio demolion) which me and my son found inside the beach bar at Mercury Phu Quoc Resort and Villas in Phu Quoc, Vietnam.

 

My guess is that it had been stuck there all night and that this was the reason I could get so close and photograph it (like here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/30487156278/), but after that I let it climb onto my finger and carried it out and placed it on a bush.
