Ornithoptera80, It's okay! BTW, the reference link is very good. I have few spottings from that list. I will upload them at the earliest. Thank you for the details! :)

Ornithoptera80, Thank you! Is this male (antenna are more than body length)? I read somewhere that female Long-Horn beetles have short antenna compared to their male counterparts! I'm not sure.
