This is citrus butterfly(papilio demoleus) as you see in this photo, some part of its wing show an abnormality( nodule or cyct like) beside the vein and eyes has a deformated shape.
Did you find the specimen in Nature or did you raise it up in captivity, is it still alive or dead for how long? Some more facts would help.
Best regards
Rudolf Ritt
