Here's Looking at you, kid....

Wisconsin

This is one of the swallowtails, but I'm not sure if it is a Giant or an Eastern Tiger Male. I'm thinking it is the later. If you can ID it, please do so.

Oh yeah.....excellent detail and composition and I love the framing. Well done!

You're very good at these, this is another spectacular shot of which you should be VERY proud! I really like the position of the wings in this shot; very symmetrical which shows the beauty of its colors and patterns quite nicely.

A great find and well shot, I can't positively ID it but it doesn't look like the Giant Swallowtail in my book.
