TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Scarce Swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius) is a species of butterfly commonly found across most of Europe and into western Asia? They get their common name from their scarcity in the United Kingdom, specifically. They are mostly found in gardens and fields, especially those with blackthorn bushes. This butterfly is protected by law in much of central and eastern Europe.
