Swallow Tail Moth

I instagrammed this moth a couple of days ago. It was resting on the curtain. It's evidently been hiding in our living room since then and has even settled on me.

Its wings are in poor condition so it moves only feebly. This gave me the opportunity to shift it to the shooting table where I was able to capture this macro of its head. It's gone somewhere else now. Must look.

Today threatens to be a repeat of yesterday's heat although some cloud cover is predicted to lower temperatures a little. We'll see.

Am popping over to Gill's to sit in her cool garden and chat.
