#swallowtailmoth

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

Lyssa Menoetius - A Species of Swallowtail Moth Found On Borneo. I took this photo 42 years ago in Kalimantan Timur (East Borneo) Indonesia. I didn’t realize it’s favorable reputation until many years later. I am grateful to have captured a photo to remember my year in Borneo from June, 1977 to June, 1978. #Moth #LyssaMenoetius #SwallowtailMoth #BorneoFauna #BorneoMoths #IndonesianMoth #KalimantanTimur #Indonesia #1977 #1978 #PhotoByJeriRae https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxtPJIFkMM/?igshid=1quj1tans7zwe
