Eastern Black Swallowtail Laying Eggs

This EBS is laying eggs on bronze fennel. If you look closely you can see one of the small brown caterpillars on the right side in the fennel. It is brown with a thick white stripe. They are this color for several days before molting to a green and white coloring.

I really enjoy this image. Can you tell me where this image was shot? By the way, if you are interested I have a few butterfly's myself...
