My oenotheras seem to be very attractive to butterflies and moths, especially the hummingbird moths. Today another colourful butterfly was flying very quickly from one flower to the next, so it was difficult to get a decent photo of it before it disappeared. I don't know which one this was, does anybody recognise it?

A lovely photo of the swallowtail, Papilio machaon.

Agreed - very nice, Jorun

Beautiful. They do seem to be somewhat nervous in flight.

Thank you, all of you, I suspected it was a swallowtail, but I was not sure which one. They are quite common here, but they don't stop for very long.
