Thanks for posting this photo - how did you get it to stay still! (realise that this is not a recent post). Have been trying to identify the same creature for 2 years. Saw them again this year (near Agen) along with Scarce Swallowtails (much easier to identify) and European Mantis . Their colouring is much more vivid than the books and other identifying images give credit.
Can someone identify this butterfly?
