Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. Those in the know will be able to identify the type; I can only label it Butterfly. It spent some time on the butterfly bush today. Enjoy!

I'm fairly certain it's some sort of swallowtail, Thad. I'm absolutely certain it's a great shot.

Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)
How does old world swallowtail fit the bill? Great close up capture of this beautiful butterfly, Thad. Wonderful colours.

A Tiger Swallowtail I do believe and a female as well.
Nice shot Thad.

Hi, Thad...
I thought I was the local entomologist/lepidopterist, but it looks like everyone has beat me to the punch. If you were Julius Caesar, you might say, et tu, Papilio glaucus L.?
This is a gorgeous shot. I haven't seen a swallowtail in this condition in years. There was a photo in the VB a little while ago. The colors were non-existent and the poor butterfly looked like he had bounced off of a few windshields. Perfect clarity, delicious colors. Excellent photo.

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes."
I agree with Stan, it's a female (because of a blue coloured tail) Tiger Swallowtail.
Beautiful post Thad.
Regards, Cornelius.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
A really stunning shot of this swallowtail.
