Named after Sir Hugh Low - _TNY_8950
I actually prefer the name Low's swalowtail (Papilio lowii), but this one is also called the great yellow mormon - a name that feels a bit weird when you see the male here.
The females vary in colour and when you see one looking like this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52610765549/ the name still doesn't make sense. Here however, is one which more fits the name: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52845038432/
