Splendid looking butterfly. Love how the colours match the flower. Nice shot.

Papilio rumanzovia (or something very close to it) - an escapee form a farm no doubt - was it anywhere near Long Sutton in Lincs by any chance?

Nice looking butterfly T-man. Yes I agree with Isurus on both the ID and that it is probably from a farm. Also called Scarlet Mormon and is native to Australia according to info I could find.
