Hi just back from Zante where I saw several swallowtail sp. flying in "apartments" type habitat and general med. cliff scrub. On one occasion I saw long extensions on the lower wing, so am presuming Scarce. I just wondered if anyone else has had experience of swallowtails in Zante, and which species it's most likely to be? They were daily but never stopped unfortunately.
I also saw this blue - any ideas, (shocking photo - only had my I-pad)? if it's the same butterfly I saw flying it was a quite a purple blue. Uniform underwing with an arch of black spots.
