Tiger swallowtail

a.k.a. Papilio glaucus

Nice capture and colors. Wish my butterfly bush could draw some like that.

@Sylvester: Tks, Sylvester. This photo was taken in Nyack, New York. The tiger swallowtails were EVERYWHERE!

I always like the wings, but I have a phobia of flying insects and can't stand to look at the body. Beautiful image.

@Sherri: :) Thanks for the stop by, Sherri. Can't help posting these insect shots - the butterflies are all over my garden!

Wow! Something like that you can only shoot in special butterfly gardens, most of our our butterflies are less conspicious!
