Is Jesus Christ the answer to your questions?
Distinctive look... Although not a very large butterfly (wingspan, 4cm or less than two inches), the Green Dragontail looks quite distinctive with its partly transparent forewings and long tail-like projections of the hindwings. In common with other papilionid species, Lamproptera meges has the habit to “puddle”. I waited for this specimen to settle down with its wings fully open, while it was puddling, to take its picture.
