I think it more closely resembles a Black Swallowtail.

I'm positive it's a black, female, swallowtail. It has all the classical markings of one and the left wing with the orange dot is covering the orange dot on the right wing. When they aren't over lapping like that they resemble two big eyes.

Thanks, it was. I'm not totally happy with the pic, the bg seems weird so I need to experiment with the f/stops a bit.

It's quite amazing how bokeh can differ from lens to lens even with similar specs.

Yeah, having had a look I believe you're right K.

I think it more closely resembles a Black Swallowtail.

I thought so at first but the single row marking along the edge led to my choice. I am no expert by any means.

Neither am I, I had to look it up and if I hadn't found it I would've believed anything.
