This does look like a male of Pachliopta aristolochiae, but the large white spot in the hindwing cell is rather unusual. Can you possibly post a photo of the upperside, please.
I gather from your post that it doesn't have any data label with it, which is a pity. If it didn't have that large white cell spot I would guess at it probably being ssp. asteris from the Malay Peninsula, judging by the shape of the other white hindwing spots.
Adam.

What happened to the body?
Yes, it is Pachliopta aristolochiae, the upperside looks normal. It is strange that the cell spot is only present on the underside, usually there is also a trace of it on the upperside if it is present, especially as it is larger than usual in this specimen.
Adam.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, 'My friend is dead! What can I do?' The operator says 'Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says 'OK, now what?'" |
