"The Dainty Swallowtail is indeed found in Canberra, although less frequently than its larger relative. They are occasional visitors to our garden, and males can often be seen patrolling around the summit of Mts Ainslie and Majura."

 

Re Orchard Swallowtails:

 

Fairly usual in my Holt yard, usually females. But this season males are noticeably more common and appear to be following a set route .
