Swallowtail butterfly - June 2011 |
Unlike in England, where they are rare and confined the Norfolk Broads, swallowtail butterflies are relatively common in France. I have seen plenty of their caterpillars feeding on my fennel and carrot but my only sighting, until today, of an adult butterfly has been a couple of very fleeting views as they fluttered away. Today however, I found one in the polytunnel and managed to catch it.
Wow, beautiful butterfly alright! And great photo.
