Earlier this week at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, I had multiple butterflies in my viewfinder, including this gorgeous male Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.
At the end of March, I was tickled to have this dark morph female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly in my viewfinder at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
Today I'm sharing two photos of an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly taken yesterday in Arkansas. The butterfly was very cooperative.
Bird activity was slow yesterday when this Spicebush Swallowtail flew in and landed on the grass nearby. I quickly stood up to photograph the swallowtail.
Yesterday, when I shared the pale young Raccoon, I mentioned that I also photographed some butterflies at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge. Here they are!
Late last week I stopped my Jeep in the Wasatch Mountains because I spotted a Two-tailed Swallowtail butterfly resting on a blooming serviceberry shrub.
Last week I photographed a fritillary butterfly photobomb a Two-tailed Swallowtail butterfly as it nectared on a Showy Milkweed high in the Wasatch Mountains.
When I returned home and could view my images on a large screen I was able to identify this swallowtail butterfly as a male Two-tailed Swallowtail.
