Oops... Troides aeacus does not occur in the Philippines (http://pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/philippine-butterflies.php), although it could be found in the neighboring countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troides_aeacus). @Juan Manuel, they almost look the same: http://en.butterflycorner.net/Troides-magellanus-Magellan-Birdwing.984.0.html http://en.butterflycorner.net/Troides-rhadamantus.1010.0.html http://en.butterflycorner.net/Troides-aeacus-Golden-Birdwing.983.0.html
