These guys getting quite rare, at least in some parts of europe. Very nice captured.

Beautifully clear picture, swallowtails regularly seem happy to pose for photos. :) Not sure what the difference is between scarce swallowtail and tiger swallowtail, but I know they are definitely called scarce swallowtails here in Europe (my spotting of one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6903057).

@Alice: Thanks. As far as I understand the "Tiger Swallowtail" can be found in Northern America almost only. In Europe the similar typ of butterfly is called "Scarce Swallowtail". I do not know if they are the same species with two different names or two species/subspecies...

Tiger Swallowtail. We have had numerous pictures of this Butterfly on Noah, but perhaps not from your country.
