Hi Nancy! I'm so very glad that you have enjoyed viewing this butterfly image! I saw this beauty alighting on my crepe myrtle bush in my backyard and went out with my camera and managed to get close enough with my zoom lens to capture this image. You need a camera with a fast shutter speed or sports mode to get a good shot. This is one of my favorite captures of a swallowtail. I have seen the kind of butterfly you mentioned, but have never gotten a photo of one... yet! :-)

I saw a beautiful black butterfly with iridescent Blue on bottom of wings today, but alas I do not have a camera to catch such a beautiful one as this! Although the experience of just viewing such a beautiful creature is a highlight in any day! Thank you for your beautiful images!!

lovely work Sue; the butterfly really stands out in this due to the colour contrast with the flower and its size. Nice job!
