Old world swallowtail

Papilio machaon

Description:

The temperature was high and little life was visible, and this is one of the two species of butterfly I saw. It differs from the other swallowtails, which are similar in colour, by the geometry of the yellow and black patches.

Habitat:

plants on the river bank, mediterranean climate
