I am fairly sure it is a female Orchard Swallowtail Butterfly . It was a bit ragged looking so must have been on its last legs. The host plant is citrus so I must check for caterpillars from it in a few days.
Also spotted this colourful spider in a simple web in the rose garden. I have been unable to identify it unfortunately.
