Just One More... - _TNY_1675
I work nights and begin work at 17:00 / 5.00 pm and since the Haga Ocean butterfly house is located in Solna which is on the way to work, I find myself quite often going to work a couple of hours early and drop in to see if there are any cool butterflies around that day.
They close at 16:00 / 4.00 pm which is probably a good thing as I suspect I would constantly be cutting it close if they were opened longer.
Anyways, for this visit, the clock was coming up on 16:00 an Markus of the staff reminded me that it was time to pack up so I figured I had time for one more and got a good shot of a butterfly befor starting to fold up the tripod when I saw this one sitting low on a tree trunk.
It's a female great yellow mormon
(Papilio lowii suffusus), aka the Asian swallowtail. Or P. lowi is the great yellow mormon, the ones with this colouration is a subspecies known as P. lowi suffusus.
