My photo doesn't do justice to this absolutely gorgeous, quite large butterfly, seen in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. It stayed where it was, so I didn't get a chance to get it with a less cluttered background. Kind of neat to see in large size, if you have the time to take a peek.
"The Emerald Swallowtail (Papilio palinurus) is a butterfly found primarily in South East Asia and is one of the very few green butterflies around. It is also referred to as Emerald Peacock or Green-banded Peacock Swallowtail. There are several subspecies (from Burma, Borneo, Indonesis, Nias and the Philippines)."

After a long morning walk at Carburn Park today, I called in to see "my" owls and then took just a short walk and found another pair of Great Horned Owls that I had heard about. Saw two adults, but no sign of any young ones. Have a botanizing walk all evening, so once again I'm getting little time here on Flickr.
