This is a fantastic capture of this Swallowtail Stanley. I am seeing so very few of these guys this season. Kind of worrying.

A most beautiful image of this butterfly, Stanley. Gorgeous colours and very fine detail. The flower is very pretty too.

Ooooh! Lovely! Seems a bit disloyal to say it, but where our tiger swallowtails in California are flashy, this one seems more elegant. New York vs. Hollywood, I guess ;)
