[Leica] IMG: More Eastern Tiger Swallowtails

[Douglas Barry]

Good catch, Jim. A tiger indeed. None of that butterfly species have 
made it to Ireland, bar one which was found in Co. Wicklow in 1932. No 
one knows how it got here, but it may have jumped out of the Spirit of 
St. Louis some time before :-)

Lindbergh did overfly Ireland enroute to Paris and the girls of the 
Moulin Rouge.
