Eastern Tiger Swallowtail...

I captured this perfectly beautiful female
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on my new butterfly bush yesterday.

It is one of the most common and most beautiful of the eastern butterflies.
 Not a mark on her, no wear or tear...I suspect she is new to the world.

This butterfly is absolutely stunning! I love the hints of metallic blue at the bottom of the wings. Thanks for the share, hope you had a fantastic weekend. Keep up the posts.

Oh, this is an amazing photo of a spectacular colored and patterned butterfly. It is so gorgeous. Debbie, you really need to publish a photographic book of your birds, butterflys and other critters. You take the best photos ever.
Loving thoughts and hugs for you!

Only God can make such a blue - and that word does not do the color or texture justice!
