Family Papilionidae Papilioninae
An extremely difficult butterfly to catch as it prefers higher areas of the trees as well as not landing anywhere so I was lucky to be able to sweep this one out of the air as it flew by after trying for two weeks to catch it!! LOL!!
Found in most of the northern regions as well as a broad strip along the eastern coast as far south as Mossel Bay.
