    I think this is a 'Southern birdwing' butterfly. Wish it was slightly more turned towards you. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful markings in this butterfly. The bright spot on the left is distracting. Lowering yourself a bit while clicking the butterfly would have helped hide that bright spot. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Mrudul is right, this is a Southern Birdwing Troides minos. These butterflies are huge, so much so that they interest (or 'distract' ) even birdwatchers and safari-goers.
