Gold Rim Swallowtail

I think this is a Gold Rim Swallowtail, It is some sort of Swallowtail from the North Somerset Butterfly house. Its a close crop as the detail of the butterfly is beautiful.

The butterflies are in a large tropical greenhouse which is very hot and humid. I missed the wind and changing sunlight when photographing native butterflies outside.

The Swallow tails are lovely I might have to go to the Norfolk Broads next summer to find our native Swallowtail.

 

Go large for the fine black/ white detail.
