Swallowtail

I know I said elsewhere  there wouldn't be any more butterfly posts for a while but this is important, a real Swallowtail. We've had them before and in France they are not quite the recherché insects they are in the UK, they lay their eggs on a variety of plants - garden carrots have been popular - and are generally widespread, not limited to a small geographical area but still, they are such large impressive creatures and we love to see them.

Proof if we hadn't already accepted it, this is a good summer.
