You're very welcome, nice spotting.

Thank you for the ID suggestions! After comparing the pictures, I'm inclined to agree with Fyn Kynd. Although both of these species look very similar, the Papilio t. troilous has the same spotting designs and colors, especially in the larger wing segments! Thank you!
