The new beauty was born.

I liked walking in my mother in-law’s garden and anytime I went out there was something. I didn’t always carry my big camera, but my phone was usually in my pocket, so I was able to capture this beauty.

Papilio demoleus is a common and widespread swallowtail butterfly. The butterfly is also known as the common lime butterfly, lemon butterfly, lime swallowtail, small citrus butterfly, chequered swallowtail, dingy swallowtail and citrus swallowtail.
