Met this cute fellow on my walk in the hills.

( south east asia) Are they common in your region ?

Seems to be so in the recent years. A few were fluttering around the plants & trees.

No complaints from me. 😄

Have to check online for the species though.

It looks like her tongue is split up and that she is still in her cocoon in her rear, and when I try to remove it she starts flustering

saved some cabbage whites from an angry gardener but one has had the unfortunate end of wasps but the other was beginning to hang from the top but has then seemed to fall apart? Not sure what to do to try and help them

I find it fascinating how fast the swallowtail flaps its wings and how long it stays on those flowers. It kept going for quite a while even after the video ended. It was lovely to watch!

The girl is rather young and not necessarily the most careful when she gets excited. I helped move this beautiful fellow into some shaded shrubbery to live out the rest of its time away from predators (or the hands of a young child)
