This was taken about a two weeks ago. I read that these Giant Swallowtail have a wingspan of six inches which is big for a butterfly. someday i would like to get a shot of their underside which is just as or more colorful.

Plant a little dill, and they will come. Nothing like the colors a few minutes after they emerge from their chrysalis. The caterpillars love parsley, too. Great capture. She hasn't had much exposure to the elements.

Looks like a giant jet landing. I suppose they have to look for larger plants to land on. Great colors and a good capture Gerry.
