Swallowtail on purple asters
Can anyone identify this swallowtail? I think black swallowtails have blue as well as yellow spots so I'm not sure what kind this one is.

Another great capture!

I really do not know what it is, but it's a really good macro shot.

Everything in Canada seems to be specially beautiful, including the "butterflies"... :)
God bless you!

I envy you all those beautiful butterflies - I can hardly find any!
good work. What ever it is it is old, and tattered. I should know old and tattered when I see it! :)
How can I follow Judi! :)
Lovely shot. The blurred yellow background sure brings out the center of that aster very nicely.

Very Pretty! Well done!
I'm not a lepidopterist thus I can't help you on this matter. But I really like your colorful shot!
Wow! Great shot!
I played too :)
I wonder if it is one of these:
Giant
Favist

All are Swallowtails and some of the photos I have seen resemble what you have.
No matter what it is -- it is gorgeous and I am soooo jealous of you capturing it with your camera. I tried to get a photo of one while hiking yesterday and it was too elussive but was so beutiful.
You are so amazing! Great shots.
I'm sorry I can't help you identify this swallowtail, but the photo is tremendous.
No idea what the butterfly is... but I do suspect that you used a telephoto lens to achieve this amazing depth of field!?
Beautiful.

I would love this matted and framed and hanging on my wall! Love this!
