Today I’m sharing two photos of an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly taken yesterday in Arkansas. The butterfly was very cooperative.<\/p>\n

The butterfly looked glorious in the early morning light. There was no way I could resist photographing him.<\/p>\n

Besides, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail needed to be added to my ever-growing digital butterfly collection. I thought I had added this species to my insect and spider gallery already. Oops!<\/p>\n

By the way, female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies, both the yellow and dark forms, display blue patches and orange spots on the hindwings that the males don’t have.<\/p>\n

I was able to take some photos of this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail<\/span><\/a> butterfly from a distance, then walk slowly to get close up photos of him.<\/p>\n

My primary passion will always be birds, but I also adore photographing other things with wings. I really loved having this gorgeous butterfly in my viewfinder!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
