One of the largest and most striking butterflies around.
This swallowtail seemed perfectly happy on a purple thistle, giving me enough time for a few close-ups before flying on.
Nature’s most beautiful moments are often the briefest.

Jag har märkt att tistlar är riktiga insektsamlare. Nu kanske våra börjar blomma snart. Underbart vacker bildserie på en underbart vacker fjäril!
