Wikipedia Abstract

The scarce swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius) is a Palearctic swallowtail butterfly found in gardens, fields and open woodlands. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, it is found in places with sloe thickets and particularly orchards. It is also called the sail swallowtail or pear-tree swallowtail. The southern swallowtail (Iphiclides feisthamelii) is sometimes treated as a subspecies. Despite the name ("scarce"), this swallowtail is quite common.
