European Swallowtail (Papilio Machaon gorganus)

These large beauties are rarely still, so when I came upon this one (early morning, in a field in Spain) I managed to sneak up on it without it flying off. Such beautiful colours and markings on them. After getting my shots I left it there to continue snoozing.
