A majestic glider, very attractive when fresh. Quite common in central and northern France and in several places I have seen several at one time. |
It does not seem to occur in the far south, where the Southern White Admiral (L. reducta) is common. |

a male, very fresh but rather a brownish tinge, not the jet black that camilla often shows when fresh. |

a female, I suspect, from the body shape and length, as the sexes are virtually identical. |
