Congrats! This is a very interesting spotting, since Papilio demoleus is usually an Asian butterfly and not found in Puerto Rico. It was unfortunately introduced from outside and is accepted as a pest in the Caribbean and Central America. First spotting was 2006: http://www.fcla.edu/FlaEnt/fe89p485.pdf
