No Tail - _TNY_6264
The gold rim swallowtail (Battus polydamas), also known as the tailless swallowtail, is another one of those species which have dorsal and ventral sides of the wings looking completely different.
The dorsal side with its yellow markings can be sort of seen in this shot (and better here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53731687859/) - but I think it looks nothing like the dorsal side (save the brownish-black base colour).
