I can't seem to find the name of this white and black butterfly. Can anyone help.
ID Please
Wow that's a lot of crysilis' !!! Sorry don't know the butterfly though :(
Several common names -- Rice Paper Butterfly, Paper Kite, Tree Nymph, but the "real" name is *Idea leuconoe*. Those other pupae are swallowtails, so this shot evidently came from a butterfly exhibit. I. leuconoe's pupae is really beautiful -- a yellow/gold with black spots.

Thank you lepfarmer. What a GREAT web page you have.
Love those tropical Paper Kites; they float like kites when they fly.
