Scarce Swallowtail

One of nature's most magnificent flyers with its black zebra patterns adorning cream-colored wings, blue eye-spots on its hindwings, and graceful tail extensions: the Scarce Swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius). The noble posture it displays while gliding across open spaces and the edges of orchards reveals the aesthetics and graceful movement of wildlife within the macro frame.
