Joy, I realized, isn't so much a circumstance you find yourself in but a choice you make

I have always called this type of butterfly a Tiger Swallowtail but I also see it referred to as an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail ~ not sure which one is actually correct. (maybe both) The plant it is feeding on is abundant in my area and blooms in Spring (around May) but I am unsure of the name. If you know what it is, please comment and let me know.
Butterflies are one my GREATEST JOYS in the Spring and Summer!

I've not seen very many butterflies yet this year. I did plant some milkweed seeds and hope to maybe see some Monarchs later in the season. He's beautiful Kerri. :c)
ReplyDeleteNice shooting. Just so happens that I saw a swallowtain flapping across the street on my way to work yesterday.
ReplyDeleteButterflies and moths are only just beginning to show up around here this week. You always manage to have such clarity in your shots. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kerri! Love all the yellow hues and the composition!

The butterfly is so beautiful. Love your macro shot. The combination of colours and brightness are just perfect. :-)
ReplyDeleteSuperb shot of the butterfly. I haven't noticed as many as usual this spring. Hope that changes soon. If not, you'll have to take more pictures to share :)
ReplyDeleteThis swallowtail photo is especially lovely. The background colors are rich and show off the foreground subjects beautifully. Crisp, clear ... wonderful! I was delighted to see my first swallowtails of the season yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many butterflies yet this year ... but wow - the luck you've had - this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. I've seen a lot of butterflies this year, but don't know enough about them to call them by name - several deep purple and black.
