Red Not Black - _TNY_6453
Looking at this swallowtail butterfly, the name scarlet mormon or red mormon (Papilio rumanzovia) might seem a bit weird, but if you see the underside, you'll understand why. The only shot where the underside is showing that I can offer you is this one: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/47682551652/ with a deceased one being attacked by ants.
This is a male and the species display sexual dimorphism so they are easy to sex. Here is a shot of a female: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51966869231/
Which do you think is the prettier one?
