Hi all,
anyone know this guy? A tailed emperor was one thought but it doesn't look right to me.

Hi Trev,
It's what we call a Lime Butterfly Papilio demoleus in Asia. In the Australian guide Braby calls it a Chequered Swallowtail Papilio demoleus. Widespread in Australia with it only being absent from the central southern coast. Great shots mate :t: !

Thanks Mark, knew I could count on you. A first sighting for me, apparently quite rare to find them low down feeding.
