The Swallowtail is Britain’s largest native butterfly, instantly recognisable by its striking black-and-yellow wings and elegant tail-like extensions. They are a rare butterfly, found only in the Norfolk Broads, where they glide powerfully over open fens. Their caterpillars are bright green with bold black markings and orange ‘horns’, capable of releasing a strong, foul pineapple-like smell when threatened.
