Papilio demoleus demoleus
Papilionidae; Papilioninae; Papilionini; Papilio demoleus demoleus Linnaeus, 1758. This subspecies is also known by the synonym Papilio demoleus libanius Fruhstorfer, 1908.
This Common Lime was spotted visiting flowers in our front yard.
It is relatively easy to differentiate males and females of this subspecies if you have a dorsal view, but as you can see, I only managed views of the underside of the wings. So, I don't know if the butterfly in my photos is male or female.
