The Old World Swallowtail or Papilio machaon. Unlike it's name it is not restricted to the old world Europe, but widespread in Asia and across North America. This striking butterfly is yellow with black wing and vein markings and a wingspan of 8 to 10 cm. The hind wings of both sexes have a pair of protruding tails which give the butterfly its common name.

This is a great capture of what we call a Tiger Swallowtail here in Missouri. Perfect focus and clarity, nice flowers too.

What a beautiful photo! It couldn't have been easy to get this shot. Love the color, the clarity, and the spatial relationship of the objects in the frame. Great job!

One of my favorite butterflies in a most obliging pose against those lovely orange posies. Nice work, Paul.

It is no surprise the quality is top-notch Paul. You got us used to your splendid performance. This one is no exception. Swallowtails are said to be very popular in Poland, yet I haven't seen a single one so far.
