The swallowtail is a species of flower-rich meadows and small-scale farmland. The males and females meet at hilltops or above high trees, showing a type of behaviour known as hill-topping, with the butterflies dancing up and down in the air. It is widespread throughout Europe, except in Ireland and Denmark, rest of the Palearctic and North America. ("The IUCN red list of threatened species", 2009)
