[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Iphiclides podalirius)-thanks Christopher_PL- is a strong flier with distinctive yellow and black striped markings on its wings and body (some females are brown or black, mimicking the poisonous pipevine swallowtail). This relatively common butterfly has a wingspan of 3.5-6.5 inches (9-16.5 cm).

These butterflies are called swallowtails because they have long "tails" on their hindwings which look a bit like the long, pointed tails of swallows (a type of bird).

Very good picture but I don't think that it's Papilio glaucas... It's looks rather like ordinary Iphiclides podalirius.

Hello Christos,
Iphiclides podalirius, very well captured.
Beautiful colour contrasts within a very well balanced and naturalistic spectre, and a very pleasant dynamic setting.
Well composed, with stong impact. An eye catcher!
Thank you, best regards,
Peter
