Ahhhhhhhh ...
This is not an Atrophaneura, or more correctly a Byasa species (the windmill group), but is actually Papilio bootes janaka.
Note that this is the only species of Asian Papilio that has red on the head and body.

So is it a mimic of Atrophaneura It is if you treat Byasa within genus Atrophaneura, otherwise it is a mimic of Byasa. Adam. |
