[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After a further trip to the Indonesian island Sulawesi in March this year I would like to share with you some of the pictures taken there.

I start with
- Graphium eurypylus
- family: Papilionidae

Species information
Graphium eurypylus occurs in large parts of South East Asia including including the large archipelagos of Indonesia and the Philippines. It is a common species in Sulawesi and found flying very fast along paths and rivulets. They often assemble in large numbers at sites with humid soil together with other Papilionidae such as Graphium agamemnon, G. anthedon, G. androcles and G. rhesus.

Location
The picture was taken at a path close to the small settling Konawendepiha in the remote mountains of South-East Sulawesi (Sulawesi-Tenggara).

Hi Peter. What a bright blue. Love the clarity and detail. A good POV with good framing. The splash of white really sets this off well. A great shot! TFS Trevor
