Blue Jay (Bluebottle) (Blue triangle)

Graphium sarpedon

I think this butterfly was sucking the water from our bathers, or it was just attracted to the colours!

Ahh, yes we had been wearing them and had just laid them out to dry in the sun!
Thanks martinl for the ID.

Lovely! If you had been wearing your bathers previously it could be attracted to the sweat as they like the salt!
