A bit tattered, true, but still lovely!

    The swallowtails are my favorite butterfly. I just don't see them very much anymore, and that makes me sad.

    I don't know how you know these things, EG. Does the fauna have identifying tattoos up there?

    I was out today and saw the largest butterfly I have ever seen. Not like this but still lovely.

    The leaf over the right wing makes it a tricky image, at first sight I thought a part of the wing was missing... Silly me. :)
    God bless you!

    I have seen a few of these EG, but they never seem to stop long enough for any photos.

    I'm in awe of butterfly close-ups...am now into bird-shots, will join you for butterfly shots when I graduate from birds.
    I like the shadows too. Great SOOC.
