Citrus Butterfly

Citrus Butterfly (Papilio anactus)

Here is a picture of a Citrus Butterfly - one of a batch of probably 8 eggs - that hatched, grew and metamorphosed into this lovely form.

Trevor said if it is a citrus butterfly - they grew on my orange plant, in my house - it must be a Citrus Swallowtail or a Dingy Swallowtail.
I think this one is a Dingy Swallowtail. So i have tagged it such.
Thanks Trevor!
