The Green Banded Swallowtail (perhaps cyan banded)l was quite common in our garden with its citrus trees. These are males, the cyan band more saturated, and a yellow band on the underside hind-wing, which has a lovely chocolate sheen. I have had no success in finding the larva, and always found it difficult to photograph the upperside, this one on a cool winter day blown in the breeze.
