Spicebush Swallowtail on zinnia

The photographs of the Spicebush Swallowtail speak for themself.

It was fun to follow him around.

Heidi said...: So beautiful! I'm thrilled for you that you get to see so many butterflies. My mom & I saw one in the backyard the other day and I ran out to try to ID it. I didn't grab the camera because I figured it would fly off. It didn't stay long, but I did get a chance to be pretty sure it was an Unsilvered Fritillary which are very rare, but just a few miles away is a wonderful habitat where they are found.

I forgot to look up your unknown butterfly last night in my guide book. I'll try to remember tonight :); August 21, 2008 at 1:23 PM
