Beautiful Couple, Pt. 2 - _TNY_4065
These two which chose to couple down on the ground at the Haga Ocean Butterfly House in Solna, Sweden are a pair of great yellow mormons (Papilio lowii), also known as the Asian swallowtail. It is the male in the background and the female in the foreground.
This was taken before I began shooting butterflies using a tripod and wired shutter so I had to settle for a quite large aperture and a shorter shutter time to get enough light down there on the ground so the depth of field could have been greater, but it still turned out reasonably good.
