Scarce Swallowtail butterfly (Iphiclides podalirius)

Another phone shot which came out better than I expected.

I grabbed a few shots of this huge and very beautiful butterfly whilst waiting for lunch, intending to return next day for better photos. I did go back, but the butterfly didn’t. There’s a moral in there somewhere!

 

Thanks to Veerle Heyman for the correct identification.
