Mikepércs: Scarce Swallowtail

I set off towards the forest this morning searching for spring related themes.
Somewhere in the forest I find lots of yellow flowers, so I take a few shots of them:

A bug is peeping out from behind a blade of grass:


I'm trying to catch the bees that come to the flowers of a hawthorn bush when a scarce swallowtail lands to have a suck at the flower's nectar:
