Today i was happily surprised with the visit of a Papilio machaon / Koninginnenpage / common yellow swallowtail .
I had never seen one of these alive before, so i was and still am verry happy with this the butterfly is +/- 7 cm in diameter so it's a pretty big butterfly but very nervice and not that easy to get close too.
and another surprise in the garden are these NFSW positioned hoverflies ;)
good thing that the cat was taking a nap.

Wow! That is a spectacular butterfly! Despite how warm it has been since February, we don't have many butterflies. How disappointing!
Jinx looks merely royal laying up on the pillow. (which is really a cat bed, but, I am sticking to my story!)
