“There is satisfactory evidence that 
this fine species formerly occurred 
with us, although it has long been 
extinct. At page 27 of Haworth’s 
‘ Lepidoptera Britannica’ (1803), we 
read ‘I know Machaon, the common 
swallow-tailed Pajgidio, breeds near 
Beverley yet, and my brother-in-law, 
R. Scales, of Walworth, near London, 
possesses a specimen of it which was 
taken there seven years since.’”

[‘‘This fine and rare species has at

every part of the county. In 1872 
it occurred in numbers all over 
England, and in our own county 
was almost common.” G.T.P. 
It was taken at Hull, Hornsea, 
Beverley (in numbers), and many 
other places. ]
