Pachliopta antiphus
These Black Roses were beautiful, and were new to me as well. Two specimens showed up on two separate days. I am aware some authors treat this as a subspecies of P. aristolochiae.
Papilio acheron
The stunning and very regal Papilio acheron. Another endemic species of the region, and not common. Only a single male turned up on the last day – though he stayed for hours, giving us numerous opportunities to play with our shots. A spectacular butterfly with a very commanding presence.
Appias pandione
Appias pandione
These were the commonest pierids around, and in flight, resembled the Kinabalu Swordtail quite closely.
