There are over 580 species of swallowtail in the world. Amongst them, some of the rarest, largest and most spectacular butterflies on the planet.
Sadly, many of our swallowtails are under threat, which is why we want to celebrate these incredible insects and encourage as many people as possible to join our movement to protect them.
