It's a "scarce swallowtail", according to my book. Excellent photo!

Yes, as M&J say it's a Scarce Swallowtail, the biggest one we've had in the garden, it was very well behaved and let me take a hand held Macro shot from about 4-6" away.

We've seen this beautiful butterfly in our garden twice over the last few days but not been quick enough to photograph it.  It is loverly hope it survives this wet weather.

It survived the wet weather we had last night Tandas, it's just turned up here again this morning. Seems to love the Lantana.

Beautiful photo - beautiful butterfly.  We only seem to get 'cabbage whites' in our garden.
