Hello friends in TN,

I have never seen this butterfly before but managed three shots before it flew away. I'm sure friends out there can help me with the ID. Thanks for viewing.


EDIT:
Thanks to Peter (Batu) for helping out with the ID.

Hello Jusni,
this is the swallowtail butterfly Graphium agamemnon (family: Papiliondae). In this case, a tail-less swallowtail.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Jusni,

Very beautiful picture of this Tailed Jay with good POV and composition, sharp details and natural colours.
