mudpuddling near village home
We saw several of these that quite swallowtail-like flitted about while refusing to land. Then we got to the village and found the mud puddle :)

Very much so. Every trip we take, I have a few creatures on my list of things I hope to see. This was near the top. I was not disappointed
Wow...closed my eyes and imagined it...what a sight it must have been. Lucky you!
Very. In flight they were like a kaleidoscope!
Lovely colours.
