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.

    She has much to do in the short life ahead of her.

    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.

    She very well may be relatively new. Had you seen her sipping anywhere?...:)JP

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