    I think it's gorgeous! :D I love those soft blue tones near the tail, and the pattern on the wings is magical.

    I think your butterfly is gorgeous and would frame the photograph and hang it on a wall. :stew1:

    Yep yours is a Swallowtail...an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail like Pianolady's
    They are gorgeous. My part of north Texas is on the far western edge of their range so the one I have only seen one in my yard.

    Yep, that's the same butterfly. Nice photo, it's hard to catch them with their wings open long enough to photograph.

    A very nice foto. Aren't they gorgeous?
    Those north american butterflies are little works of art, aren't they.
