I had a second encounter with this beautiful butterfly from the papilionidae family.

She arrived at a different place and I didn't have the same phone as the previous time, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to photograph her.

Llegó a un lugar distinto y yo no contaba con el mismo teléfono de la ocasión anterior, pero no quise dejar pasar la oportunidad de fotografiarla.


Although the device I used to photograph it is a little old, in the images you can see how beautiful it is.

Aunque el dispositivo que usé para fotografiarla es un poco viejo, en las imágenes se puede ver lo bonita que es.

It is large and delicate, with two extensions on its wings that are reminiscent of swallows. That is why this family is also called "swallowtail butterflies".

Es grande y delicada, con dos prolongaciones en sus alas que recuerdan a las golondrinas. Por eso a esta familia también se le llama "mariposas cola de golondrina".

It didn't stop moving and, by magic, only a few images were blurry.

No paraba de moverse y, por obra de magia, solo pocas imágenes resultaron borrosas.

It had about 12 centimeters of wingspan, black wings with white or cream spots and a row of smaller white and red spots near the two extensions.

Tenía alrededor de 12 centímetros de envergadura, alas negras con manchas blancas o crema y una fila de manchas mas pequeñas blancas y rojas cerca de las dos prolongaciones.

The body was white or cream with black stripes, the head, antennae and legs were black.

El cuerpo era blanco o crema con franjas negras, la cabeza, antenas y patas eran negros.

The so-called Birdwing butterflies, which stand out for their large size and peculiar flight, are part of the papilionidae family.

Las llamadas mariposas Ala de pajaro, que se destacan por su gran tamaño y peculiar vuelo, forman parte de la familia papilionidae.

The male of the Papilio garleppi has a great resemblance to the Papilio torquatus, and can be confused.

El macho de la Papilio garleppi tiene un gran parecido con la Papilio torquatus, pudiendo confundirse.

Tomarle fotos a las mariposas es todo un reto, incluso se me han escapado varias sin poderlas fotografiar porque nunca paran de moverse. Esa especie es preciosa 🦋

Taking photos of butterflies is quite a challenge, I have even missed several without being able to photograph them because they never stop moving. That species is beautiful 🦋

Sí, es bastante difícil, a mi se me han escapado muchas mariposas, pero son tan bonitas que merece la pena el esfuerzo.
Gracias por tu amable comentario, bendiciones.

Yes, it is quite difficult, I have missed many butterflies, but they are so pretty that it is worth the effort.
