Newly emerged Orchard Swallowtail butterfly
Hi all,

I came across this just-emerged female orchard swallowtail in our garden early this morning, so took a few shots. I had to rescue the butterfly when it eventually flew, as it flew straight into a spider web! There's some images of nearby insects going about their business as well.

Cheers,
Stephen
