Some Red Valerian Visitors...
The abundant Red Valerian at the Escragnolles site (23/6/2014) attracted many species apart from P.alexanor; the most common being Black-veined White:
and Cleopatra
Also seen was an Apollo/Small Apollo(?)
and rather worn specimens of Southern White Admiral and Scarce Swallowtail - not photogenic!- Chris Jackson

James,
Decidedly, you are getting your treasures out of the box one by one.
I havn't seen a Black-vein White in Vitrolles (near Marseilles) for more than 1 month now.
What altitude did you find the "apollo" at ?
You seem to have an eye for specialities.

According to Google Earth the altitude was 1004m; in fact not far from or much above the main road.
