I guess. It's comforting to know, though, that there are those who are willing to help out one such as me. :) Thank you for the reference. I'll be sure to upload more spottings in the near future. :)

I think we all started like that :) so don't worry :) For Philippine butterfly species, the link in my suggestion is a very good reference. I love your photography. Hope we'll see more spottings from you. Regards!!

Thank you for spotting that. I hope you will forgive my error. I'm still not quite experienced in species identification. :)

Beautiful spotting agravate! Papilio polytes occurs in the Philippines but in Batanes only as subspecies Papilio polytes pasikrates. The species existing in the Philippines in general, except in Batanes, is Papilio alphenor, subspecies ledebouria.
