A nice female specimen I recently acquired of a large tropical African swallowtail, Papilio ophidicephalus -
A live example of the species -
And the larva -
It belongs to the menestheus species group, which in some respects, is the African analogue of the thoas species group of the Americas. The larvae of both feed on Rutaceae.
