It is one of the best known and most beautiful butterflies in Europe. However, it is not found in the Atlantic islands or Ireland, and in England it is hardly widespread and its existence is limited to the SE region. The macaón is one of the most showy and easiest diurnal species in Europe to see in the Iberian Peninsula. It has a wingspan between 32 and 80 mm and is characterized by its black and cream-yellow wings. Here you can see a close-up with dew drops on its antennae reflecting off the surrounding flowers.
