Swallowtail Butterfly

It was very hot day while this beautiful swallowtail butterfly kept swinging around the garden. That was beautiful butterfly I ever seen, hanging there for very short time even I was not really ready to take a proper shot. FYI, this typical butterfly was moving quite a lot during this hour, and it became more aggressive when it sensed something was not right coming up. So I had to be quicker than this butterfly or otherwise I would not be able to take a picture. It first stopped on the flower, hanging there for a while and began to spread its wings to another spot which made me hunt it, but it flew faster than I thought until I only got a few photos from my first shots.
