On the subject of hijacking, Troides Rhadamantus or Platymeris Rhadamantus?

I imagine Troides given the demography (as in they are predominantly PI-based lepidoptera).

Very pretty as well BTW.

Anyone else know what the hell I'm on about?

now it's either you are a bloody brilliant boy and know all this off the top of your bum or you have nothing better to do but google strange words...

but here it is... from (strangely enough) the website www.marinduque-butterfly.com

PS
i'd prefer to think you're just an avid googler

Well you can just kiss my hairy butt.:mooner:

Oh ye of little faith!

As a kid I spent many a long summer collecting butterflies in Hong Kong (you do actually get Troides Rhadamantus in HK BTW).

My personal fave in the area is Papilio paris hermosanus (can't be bothered to find you a piccy).

Edit. I should add that I'm well aware that Platymeris is a bug, not a butterfly. I'm not smart, I've just got a head full of useless ****.:sad:

eeeerrrr.. isnt it radamanthus? i saw this butterfly ages ago, way back high school days, at the public hs library. it was so beautiful. that is how i came up with my username though.

but i forgot bout the spelling. put the "H" in "ra" instead of in "tu" . and was too lazy to change it then.

I dunno, google it. I did.
