Of all my butterflies, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is the most frequent visitor and the least fearful photography subject.

That's a great picture. I only occasionally get these butterflies at my garden.
Fun Posts with the Butterflies!
When they get plentiful, I don't want to make photos if there isn't a butterfly in sight. I love all the Swallowtails, but my fav is the Zebra, if only because they're not as numerous as the others.
What a gorgeous picture you have captured with this sweet butterfly .. I haven't seen any in my garden and I have so many of the butterfly magnet plants it is ridiculous ? LOL
Lovely photo!! Great work in catching the butterfly wings open.
Just lovely. These butterflies are so special.
