So the two of you finally met. The L. Meges is the smallest papilio. According to one paro-parozzi, she has seen hundreds of them in Subic same time last year. This is the best shot of the L. Meges I've seen in my 8 years of butterfly watching. It is popularly known as the Dragontail butterfly - because it is often mistaken as a dragonfly. Note the glass wings.
