Hi all,

Just seen a huge butterfly in the garden, didn't get a great view but it was large, certainly bigger than anything i've seen in the UK, probably around 100mm wingspan, it was Black with what seemed like a white stripe going vertically down each wing It was in the garden for a few seconds before leaving, it was a very strong flyer.

Can anybody help?
