Super pictures! I am based in Dubai but regularly watch for butterflies; the Chequered Swallowtail and Eggfly butterflies are quite abundant in UAE.

These are really great pics. Does anybody know the scientific or common name of the butterfly in the picture titled: "Butterfly - not the best background". There are two or three other pics of this same butterfly.
