Swallowtail butterfly munching on my Silphium perfoliatum plant

Lucky you,, they are getting very scarce here , we don,t get many of them , there are some on the Norfolk Broads I always seem to miss them though :o(

Saw one yesterday, but didn't manage to get a photograph of it. You're right Amy, they are getting less and less common.

Great shot of a beautiful butterly!!

Geat shotl, lovely speciman. I saw a swallowtail yesterday, on a pretty flower, but it was very bedraggled, so I didn't take a pic.

Oh fabulous! This one's going to my favs! Really impressive photo :)

Thanks so very much for your kind comments, what it really comes down to is luck...lol, being in the right place at the right time.

Oh, now that makes me speechless, and green with envy! What a super duper butterfly Flcrazy! It's gorgeous.

Thanks ladies, if you look closely, you can tell he's looking alittle rough around the edges, I believe this one has alittle age on him, or he's just a wild child...lol.
