The Malay Lacewing (Cethosia hypsea hypsina)
FRESH specimens of the male of this most beautiful butterfly have a pinkish bloom on the orange area of the upperside. The female is yellower, with a white patch at the tornal margin of the forewing above.

The Common Tree Nymph (Idea Jasonia logani)
SEVERAL species of Idea are in Borneo, but jasonia seems to be the commonest and, with its elongated wings, it is not the least beautiful
Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing (Trogonoptera
brookiana albescens)
brookiana albescens)
WALLACE first discovered this species, the most striking and handsome of all our butterflies, in Borneo , hence its name.
Rajah Brooke's Birdwing
The Common Birdwing (Triodes
THIS insect is much more widely distributed than the preceding, and although essentially a jungle butterfly, it is sometimes seen over gardens and cultivated country, often at a considerable height from the ground.
The Common Rose (Atrophaneura aristolochiae asteris)
This beautiful insect, and other Aristolochia feeding Swallowtails of the same group, are distasteful to most insectivores, and exhibit warning coloration.

The Common Mime (Chilasa clytia clytia)
THIS insect is one of a group, each species of which mimics one or more poisonous Danaid species.

The Red Helen (Papilio helenus helenus)
This large black and white Swallowtail may often be seen swinging swiftly but unevenly along jungle paths and roads on the hills. On the plains it is less common.
The Common Mormon (Papilio polytes romulus
PAPILIO polytes is nearly as common as demoleus, and the larva, which also feeds on citrus, is almost indistinguishable, but pupa is broader and more angled at the waist.
The Great Mormon (Papilio memnon agenor)
THE males of this large and conspicuous butterfly are seen almost everywhere, in gardens, open country and forests, females are less common, but the discrepancy is probably more apparent than real, since from batches of larvae, females are bred as frequently as males.
The Banded Swallowtail (Papilio demolion demolion)
THIS butterfly, often seen flying rapidly along jungle paths in the lowlands, is difficult to capture, and only too frequently the effort of netting it breaks one or both the tails. If may be taken at flowers, however, and is especially fond Saraca, Mussaenda and Ixora.
The Five-Bar Swordtail (Graphium antiphates itamputi)
SWIFT in flight, this species may be mistaken for a Pierid butterfly. It is not common on roads and forest clearings, and the males are sometimes seen congregated on moist spots.
The Common Bluebotttle (Graphium sarpedon luctatius)
ALTHOUGH this familiar butterfly is one of group of Graphium Swallowtails, all with similar colouring, it can be confused with none of the others since the blue marking are simpler and bolder.
The Orange Albatross (Appias nero figulina)
THE life history of this beautiful and widely distributed butterfly is unknown. The males may often be taken in some numbers on sandy river-banks and seepages on the plains.
The Great Orange Tip (Hebomoia glaucippe aturia)
THE figure will identify this, the largest Pierid found in Borneo , beyond doubt. The larva feeds upon Crataeva religiosa.
