Iphiclides podalirius

Description:

A butterfly with large resistant wings with stripes of black and white on the back and white and yellow on the front.

Was very hard to photograph this one since it was a windy day it's wings are large and they're very energetic.

It could have been a Giant Swallowtail (or different kind of Swallowtail), please check to be sure, for instance here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Swall...
