Cette fois ci je l'ai pris d'un angle avantageux.
J'ai été étonné ,qu'on aient coupés les hautes herbes.
Diminuant ainsi sont territoire. Pour trouver de nouvelles espèces , je peux oubliés maintenant.
The Swallowtail is an exotic butterfly, but quite common in Europe, especially in the south. The British form is different from the continental insects illustrated here, most noticeably in the shape of the submarginal band on the forewing, which is more tapered. However, continental specimens often have quite marked tapering. Outside the UK the swallowtail may be found in almost any habitat, flying in a weak but deceptively fast manner and often sticking to daily behaviour patterns. In England it is restricted to wetlands in the eastern counties where its larval foodplant grows.It usually settles only briefly and is difficult to photograph. Like most butterflies, how ever, it will come to wet ground in hot, dry weather, and is then easier to reach. |

Bonjour John,
Je vois que tu as aussi constitué toute une galerie de papillons. Les débuts sont quelque fois difficiles, mais la persévérance paye toujours!
Ici le Machaon est joliment présenté, même s'il est un peu abîmé. Les couleurs sont naturelles et la netteté est bonne. L'arrière-plan est un peu bruyant.
Meilleures salutations
Anne
