Small -striped swordtail

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Small-striped Swordtail.
Graphium policenes.
A swallow tail found in Afro-tropical regions.
Very long tail. Note the parallel bar markings on forewing and red markings.
Often found in mud. A fast flier.
The markings are actually green but the flash has given them a blue apearance. Not unusual in other illustrations.
This one photographed in Bobiri National Reserve, Ghana. |

Ciao Mike,
i colori delle ali di questo Papilionidae sono davvero splendidi.
La messa a fuoco perfetta sulle ali permette di osservare ogni minimo dettaglio di questa bella specie, che vedo stasera per la prima volta.
L'erba disturba un poco l'osservazione, ma pazienza!
Grazie,
Marcello
