Red is a Girl Colour, Pt. 2 - _TNY_6480
A female lime butterfly (Papilio demoleus) which had landed on some vines quite high up (2.5m / 8") at my butterfly house.
The way to tell this is a female is by those red and blue spots near the base of the hind wings. Males have the blue and red parts closer to similar in size while females like this one have a significanty larger red portion.
Part 1 has it more out of the shadows here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53393701800/
