Wow, 2nd new Tiger Swallowtail on here today..this one from Europe.
"In some years the Scarce Swallowtail is quite abundant. The Scarce Swallowtail is getting rarer as the blackthorn bushes are being cleared. The butterfly is now protected by law in Czech republic, Slovakia, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Russia and Poland.[2] It is considered Rare-Endangered and protected in some provinces of Austria and of status Indeterminate throughout Europe. Though referred by some authorities to be of status "Vulnerable",[1]:46[3] it is however unlisted in the IUCN Red List[4] and the CITES appendices I, II and III.[5]"-Wikipedia
