What is the common name for Papilio dardanus?

'African Swallowtail', 'Mocker Swallowtail' or 'Flying Handkerchief' may be common names for Papilio dardanus. Perhaps the most known of the common names is 'African Swallowtail'. Specifically, this colorful butterfly may be found in African countries south of the Sahara Desert.But in a way 'Mocker Swallowtail' fits best. That's because the female is known for two kinds of mock or mimicking behavior. In one scenario, she successfully has predators believe that she's one of the distasteful butterflies. In the other scenario, she successfully has lustful males of her own kind believe that she's just another male.In the first scenario, mimickry or mock behavior solves the problems of predation. In the second scenario, it solves the problem of stalking.
