The lovely Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is one of the most common and widely distributed swallowtail butterflies, found throughout eastern USA and Canada. The male tiger swallowtail is always the familiar bright yellow with black striped markings. However, some females are dramatically camouflaged - they are dark brown to black, mimicking the poisonous pipevine swallowtail butterfly (which predators know to avoid because it tastes foul and can make them extremely ill). The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucas) was designated the state butterfly of Alabama in 1989. I took this photo at Petals From The Past in Jemison, Alabama. Thanks for viewing and comments.

Beautiful photo. I have not seen many in Missouri this year, thanks for sharing. Nice to see with the wings wide open.

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
Good capture of the "Tiger" with such clear markings.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
