Graphium angamemnon (tailed jay)

Family Papilionidae

The Graphium angamemnon (tailed jay) is often seen in the places from ground level to low altitude mountain areas. With a high flying speed, it is not easy to take pictures of it. Flying under the sun, it appears much more gorgeous. The fodder of its larvae is old vines of plants like gardenias, banana shrubs, custard apples, eagle's claws, and piper nigrum.
