This butterfly has a lot of names including EMERALD SWALLOWTAIL and BANDED PEACOCK and MOSS PEACOCK Papilio palinurus daedalus Pasonanca, Zamboanga It is described as being difficult to see in the wild because it tends to stay high up in the forest canopy. When I saw this butterfly, it was high up on hillside. It's bright green V pattern caught my eye. The color was so vivid that I thought it was a piece of plastic that got lodged high up in the vegetation. According to Lydia Robledo, "They can be seen all over the country. Subic and Banahaw have lots."
