Southern Swallowtail Butterfly (Iphiclides feisthamelii)

​

There was an exquisite butterfly fluttering about in the Jardim Amalia Rodrigues today. I got some good footage and shots of it as it flitted from branch to branch. It turned out to be a fairly unique species named Southern Swallowtail (Iphiclides feisthamelii).

Below is a video I made called Southern Swallowtail Butterfly (Iphiclides feisthamelii) of the same butterfly pictured above, along with an accompanying tune named "Swallowtail" for the soundtrack.

Pictured below the video are nearby waterlilies.
