    That's a Beauty Mark, haven't seen that one before, got a couple of nice shots of a Scarce Swallowtail in France last year though. http://www.thamesvalleybirds.co.uk/i...odalirius.html

    That IS a beautiful creature, nice shot. Were you running after it like a maniac? I always wonder how silly we must look when we do that
