Two-Tailed Pasha
Family: Nymphalidae

The Two-Tailed Pasha is the largest European butterfly, with the fore-wing span of the female often measuring more than 4 inches. These butterflies fly very fast. The males defend their territory and, like the Swallowtail, exhibit "hilltopping" behavior. They are locally common in the Mediterranean region, and one of their distinguishing marks is the two tails of the hind-wings.pity this one's wings abit has been demolished

Selam Ridvan,
Fantastic to be able to take shot of this impressive butterfly: the Two-tailed Pasha is not easy to capture and you did it in what seem to be poor light conditions. The back part is sharp and the detail inset is a fine addition.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

A giant of a butterfly, Ridvan.

Very sharp capture and lovely colours.

Merhaba Ridvan,
This picture makes honour to the size of the butterfly: A really big one!
It's very impressive the vivid and intense colour on its wings.
Perhaps a little soft in focus.
Very good and illustrative the small inclusion od the eye detail.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM
