Swallowtail in Greece

by wvbarnes

I'm told these are more common in the south of England now too. Good old 55 - 300mm DA ED again.

I'm new to Photo bugs and insects things but have been amazed at the fascinating gets - I'm blown away by your image. The spread of the wings and the spread of the green leafs below are mirroring each other but in different colors. The grays in the wings are watercolor delicate, And the red dot sets a focal point for entire image. Back colors are strong. So, the image is top shelf super. -- thanks tg

Saw just one in Majorca; always a joy.
Best wishes,
