4141. The Lime Butterfly loves lime or citrus plants

 The Lime Butterfly (Papilio demoleus malaynus) in Singapore likes citrus or lime plants




The Lime Butterfly (Papilio demoleus malayanus) gets its name from its host plants that are usually citrus species.

It is also a swallowtail butterfly but lacks the prominent tail that most swallowtails have. It is black with large yellow markings on the upperside, forming a band running from its forewings to hindwings. Its underside is mostly yelow with black markings.
