Archon apollinus (Herbst 1789),
as crissie78 said.
E: "False Apollo"
That species is new to me.
Most probably also new to the TN collection.

Ido, perfectly taken descriptive shot.
Very good details and colours.
I guess you want to make us Europeans, still sitting in the snow,
envious about the month taken, and talking of millions of b-flies. ;)
We are going to tell you our stories in July.

Thanks, and regards,
Peter

Hello Ido,
Very good shot of this colourful butterfly. Cropping is OK and good sharpness. Background colour is very close to some parts of the butterfly. Well seen.

Hi Ido,

This is a Archon apollinus-False Apollo,a female one(because of the red spots on its back) These are vulnerable in Turkey.I hope to visit Israel one day,especially Eilat which is famous with its rare birds:)

Have a good night..

Hi Ido,
Lovely colors and details. Maybe the composition could hae been improved a bit. I absolutely love the colors on the wings.
