Yellow! Pt. 2 - _TNY_2510
Looking at this male great yellow mormon (Papilio lowii), it isn't entirely clear why it has gotten that name. If you instead look at the female (like here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52845038432/) it is easier as she is at least partially yellow.
Other names for this species is Asian swallowtail and Low's swallowtail.
I was really happy with this guy as he chose to give me photo opportunities both with his wings like this, but also with them raised in part 1 here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52850463112/
