Swallowtail Butterfly
This is a swallowtail butterfly (Papilionidae). The problem is, it is only found in Norfolk in the UK and I took this on the south coast! It's a beautiful specimen and was quite large.

The colours and shapes on its wings are exquisitely beautiful..........and you've captured it perfectly. An outstanding shot sir!
You should report this sighting to the Uk Butterfly Monitoring Scheme.........I'm sure they'd be delighted :
