Perhaps the most beautiful butterfly you could find in Israel, is the Swallowtail.
Two or three sub-species of them live here, but there is only one that lives in my area.
The swallowtail butterfly lays its eggs on the rue plant, and I always make sure to have one in my garden.
I only had my cellphone to capture the images of this beautiful, beautiful female coming to lays her eggs.
And even during flight! :)
Hope you enjoyed this fine specimen :)

Wow, that butterfly actually looks stunning. I'm used in smaller and more boring butterflies here in Finland so that looks like it's something from another world.
I'm not an expert in photography and I don't know if you're actually better than me, but these photos could work well with different aperture, if you're taking these with a real camera, you'd get really nice blurred background to really bring out the butterfly from the picture.
Thanks, I know :) Unfortunately I only had my cellphone at grabbing distance :)
Just checked some of your other posts and I saw you seem to know how to handle a camera :D
Well let's hope someone else will read the comment and learn something, sorry for doubting you in my comment.
Very good photos for a cellphone camera!
Hehe thanks :) It's ok I didnt feel doubted :)
@simba, wow that's a beautiful butterfly, the second shot looks great. It looks huge compared to the butterflys we get here in the UK.
Thanks!
Yes, they are rather big compared to other, and their bodies are wider, maybe its just the females. now im waiting for the caterpillars :)
Those butterflies are great. Such a brittle creatures they are.
Thanks, for share, wish you a good day :)
Thanks, butterflies have always been my passion, but this one is rare to see and catch on photo, im very pleased :)
