Not a very good picture as sadly there was only time for one picture but this was spotted at the Sorteney Nature Reserve high in the Pyrenees in Andorra
It was HUGE! - a good 2-3 inches across

This is the Apollo - Parnassius apollo
Very beautiful
Well taken :) :thumbsup:
Looks like a beautiful thing - pity that you didn't have the chance to take some more shots. I just looked it up and interestingly, according to wikipedia it's of great interest to entomologists as it has many subspecies, often restricted to an individual valley.
Ooh interesting flutterby :D
I nearly trod on it as it was sitting on the main path through the reserve!
:-doh :-rolling :14:
Carol did get one pic as well, although the upper wing is in shade. I'll post that pic when I get her photos pulled over onto my pc.
