Thank you! It is one of the former caterpillars found in parsley two weeks ago. Three had puped on 4/8 and flickered yesterday. Two on 5/8 and one flickered today. All of them took exactly 11 days: Swiss precision. Only the last one is late.
In mid-August I didn't think I had to go and free and photograph macaone, but I'm not complaining. :-)

I believe that a smaller aperture would have helped to give you a better reading both on the wing end to the left of the observer, as well as on the wing end towards the tail to the right of the observer, always taking into account a correct parallelism

Wonder of pastels

Thank you. A fleeting perfection just like the very existence of these butterflies that live a couple of weeks in adult form. The rain of these days, for example, may have immediately changed the appearance of the wings.
I am always reminded of the words of Leonard Nimoy written in a message a few days before his death: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory".
But not to be too poetic I add that being a butterfly does not necessarily mean crashing immediately. Some, like the vanesses, live for a year. 8-)

Undoubtedly it is not easy to achieve perfection with one moth, even more difficult with two especially considering the temperatures existing even early in the morning. However, the proposed photo of the couple is not bad at all.

Thank you. :)
For the record, today the last specimen "of parsley" came out of the chrysalis. I released it immediately without photographing it, partly because I didn't have time and partly because three consecutive days of photos of macaones can be enough. :-o :-)
