Most Yellow Great Yellow - _TNY_1828
This beauty which I followed around basically the entire Haga Ocean butterfly house butterfly section before it finally landed is a female Low's swallowtail (Papilio lowii), also known as the Asian swallowtail - but also the great yellow mormon.
The thing about that last name is that it most of the time doesn't make sense as the butterfly is very little yellow - and still has that name.
This is quite possibly the most yellow I've seen a great yellow mormon so I was very thankful when it landed and let me get a couple of shots.
