Black Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio polyxenes)(f)

One Swallowtail does not make a Summer !

But.... she made my Summer. This year there have been so very few butterflies. This is the State butterfly for Oklahoma too.

I have seen but 3 this year.. and the other 2 were not stopping to have a photo taken.

This lady was shy.. but allowed 3 photos !

EXPLORED !

Oh Wow ! What a beauty. I wish James hadn't suggested a crop as I've now spent ages playing with the note function. However I understand exactly why you kept it as it is now and I think you were right to do so.

Pam J ^club has replied to Jean

Thankyou Jean !!

That made me laugh.... I understand what you did !

Suggestions are always welcome.. specially as James is SO good.... but this was really the one that felt 'comfortable' for me
