Spectacular! I've never seen one of these in real life.

Those are amazing butterfly shots! I've seen several of my garden this year but I haven't been too quick to snap the picture. They flutter around fast.

This one was so enamored with the flowers it held still for long stretches of time while I snapped photos!

Jennifer said...

It's a beauty. And big! I'd guess at least 4 or 5 inches across when it's wings are spread fully.

I have never believed in God but the existence of the eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly gives one pause for thought. Beautiful.

Wow! I know how hard it is to get a shot of those beauties. Excellent.

The title “Sparrow Tree Journal” drew me in and when I saw Tiger Swallowtails I knew I was at the right place!
