Iphiclides feisthamelii ,

the scarce swallowtail, is a butterfly found in gardens, fields and open woodlands. It is found in places with sloe thickets and particularly orchards. It is widespread throughout Europe with the exception of the northern parts. Its range extends northwards to Saxony and central Poland and eastwards across Asia Minor and Transcaucasia as far as the Arabian peninsula, India, and western China. The Scarce Swallowtail is getting rarer as due to loss of habitat and foodplant. It is protected by law in some European countries. It is considered Rare-Endangered in some provinces of Austria and of status Indeterminate throughout Europe.

Iphiclides podalirinus, the Chinese scarce swallowtail, is a little known species occurring in China, that was previously considered a suspecies of I. podalirius. It is not known to be threatened but more data is required on this butterfly.

Hi Jose,
A beautiful capture. Looks like a paper kite. Excellent composition with clear blue sky. Nice colors and details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Excelente ángulo de toma para ese contraluz. Encuadre precioso. Le has sacado partido a esa toma baja. Yo tengo varias capturas de esta cebrada i muchas de ellas tb con la puntita del ala rota. Saludos José Ramon.

Hello Jose,

I like the position of this butterfly, through the open wings, also the colours and the sharpness are superb.
High quality too.

Best regards,
John.

Wonderful butterfly image showing it from the bottom side Jose Ramon.
The backlight is wonderful and does show great detail.
Colors and color contrast are wonderful.
Excellent sharpness, clarity and lighting.
Personally I would like to have seen a little more space on top, but that's just my opinion ofcourse.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards,
Harry

Hola Jose Ramon,
Great capture of this butterfly wwith a very good POV. The sun coming from the top shows the wings' beauty. Composition, exposure control, focus and sharpness are very nice. TFS

That is quite a daring perspective, Jose. The Swalowtail looks stupendous against the BG of sky.
Though the specimen is short of one tail, the entire composition looks just beautiful.
Well done and TFS.
