Iphiclides podalirius
I am not sure which subspecies of Swallow Tail this one belongs too? It had obviously been in the wars as part of its lovely tail was missing. We get quite a lot of these in our garden, but they don't normally rest for long but this one did, possibly because of its tail.
Glad to help Janice. Oh you might want to reconsider your tag for the scientific name :-)
Thank you Eric, I could remember seeing something about this variety but could not remember the name.
