Thanks Bayucca, I completed the description which I had omitted, with the various Common Names and usages. Also added the Spanish name since it was seen in Spain.
Hi Malcolm! Your ID is certainly correct. I would suggest to add as common name the "Old World Swallowtail". But swallowtail is also correct, however, in Europe it is clear, in an international community like we too are (;-)...), it would make it easier to separate this by name from the ones from the Americas. Or you might add both names. Just a suggestion.
