The Scarce Swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius) is a large, striking butterfly found on Mount Lovćen in the Dinaric Alps of Montenegro, typically between spring and early summer. Easily recognized by its pale yellow or white wings with bold black stripes, long swallow-like tails, and blue and orange markings near the hindwings, it inhabits open woodlands, scrubland, and alpine meadows. Though widespread in Europe, it is considered locally scarce or declining due to habitat loss. On Mount Lovćen, it thrives in the warm, rocky terrain where host plants like blackthorn and hawthorn grow, vital for its caterpillars.
