This lovely creature is a swallowtail butterfly, a Blue mormon seen at Ulavi deep inside the Western Ghats jungles. This large butterfly is a graceful flier. It is said to be a pollinator.
These are a few lucky shots since the space was limited and sometimes the butterfly would fly around the other side of the tree. It has a blue patch on the upper side which was out of sight most times.
The only shot when its wing span at its max. The dark part of the wings have blue patches hence the name Blue mormon.
