Hong Kong Butterflies 28

The Common Jay (Graphium doson 木蘭青鳳蝶 ) is medium in size. It can be seen in spring, summer and autumn and is common and widely distributed in Hong Kong.  The wings are black with a broad bluish-green macular band, making it comparatively easy to be observed. 

Markings on its wings, which look similar to Common Bluebottle, are however more numerous and fragmented.

This Common Jay was encountered yesterday morning in the Hong Kong Park.
