Black swallowtail (<em>Papilio polyxenes</em>)
29-AUG-2010 Christine Hanrahan

Black swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes)

I've seen a lot of black swallowtails around FWG this year, as well as more caterpillars than I usually see. On this day I also saw an eastern tailed blue butterfly, a monarch, a couple of ringlets and a handful of clouded sulphurs and cabbage whites.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
