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.
