User's notes
A large black, white & fawn-grey butterfly with 7 red spots towards the outer perimeter (upper side) of the hind wing, and 2 bluish dots on the inside of the red dots, closest to the body. The perimeter of the hind wings looks scalloped, but that could just be the patterning cof the black around white spots on the very outer edge of the upper hind wings. Photo 4 provides more detail on the upper side of the fore wing Possibly an Orchard Swallowtail (Papilio aegeus), and if so, is the same Sp as at sighting 4667450.
