#mothsofborneo

I took this photo of what I believe is a Swallowtail Moth (Lyssa menoetius) while I was exploring in Kalimantan Timur in 1977 or ‘78. I remember it being fairly large and impressive but it went unnamed until I searched through photos on Google image. It is found in the region and the coloring and shape is right so I am pretty sure I have it right. Photo by me, a much younger me, but still me. 😅 • #MothsOfBorneo #SwallowtailMoth #1977 #KalimantanTimur #Indonesia #PhotoByJeriRae (at East Kalimantan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSDBCooLAHO/?utm_medium=tumblr
