This looks like a Pseudopanthera macularia - Speckled Yellow moth .

I think this is a Parnassius mnemosyne - Clouded Apollo, a lovely looking butterfly and not one I see around these parts .


(It would be better if you could add the "Linked Thumbnail:" to posts rather than the large image if you don't mind, (they can be clicked on to see a full size image) it just doesn't distort the page and is easier on the eye .
Thanks)

Many thanks, I'm sure those are correct.
(The picture of the Clouded Apollo in my butterfly book is not very good.)

I've gone through all my recent postings replacing the photos with thumbnails.
I'm currently trying to ID one lizard, one duck, and one pair of birds.
