Great yellow Mormon

Papilio lowi

"Papilio lowi", the great yellow Mormon or Asian swallowtail, is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. The species was first described by Herbert Druce in 1873. It is found in Borneo, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Adults of "P. lowi", much like other Mormons, mimic the inedible red-bodied swallowtails.
