Tropical Swallowtail Moth This large Moth was probably the most common Moth to be seen at Tawau Hills Park.<br />
During the night, they are attracted by the lights of the building and each morning, I can easily see at least 8-10 of them.  I also see them in the forest during night walks, but they get edgy and fly away when I put my lights on them.
