Lime Butterfly - Papilio demoleus

Hello Everyone..

Today I woke up earlier than usual, and before that I did not intend to look for photo objects, but when it was around 7 am I left the house for a leisurely walk instead of jogging,I saw this beautiful butterfly in the bushes of empty land not far from my house, I rushed home to get my smartphone and macro lens, with the hope that when I arrived at the location I found the butterfly was still standing in the same wild plants. And it is true that the beautiful butterfly has not moved to another place. I just remembered that the butterflies were still sleeping in the morning and of course this is my chance to take the photo because it is very difficult to photograph adult butterflies in the daytime, they are so actively moving here and there.

And what pretty butterflies I mean is Lime butterfly (Papilio demoleus), a kind of rama-rama from the Papilionidae family. It is named so because this butterfly caterpillar usually lives and becomes a pest on orange trees.
