This is a Green Spotted Triangle or Tailed Jay (graphium agamemnom) I had taken many shots of these unusual green butterflies, but none showed the true green color. In the area where this shot was taken there was plenty of available natural light. I didn't have to use the flash. The colors are what they are supposed to be. I would like to add, I was actually taking a picture of a "trained" sea grape and this guy and a Emerald Swallowtail both happened to be in the picture. Since none of the other shots I had of this one showed it's true colors, I cropped this one out of the main picture and viola, here it is.
