The Eastern Swallowtail Butterfly - Nature 138

 Have you seen this butterfly in your gardens or yards?

Image - Eastern Swallowtail

She is an Eastern Swallowtail butterfly and shows the beautiful iridescent blue on bottoms of the wings.

A beautiful visitor to the front garden!!!

The Eastern Tiger swallowtail female is particularly beautiful. Haven’t seen many of them, so lucky to meet one of them.

The butterfly feeding on a pink colored Penta. Plenty of Penta flowers was sold in nurseries during Spring.

It does well in our hot climate and comes in a variety of colors:
- red
- pink
- white
- and lavender.

  6. Olá amiga!
    Borboleta muito bonita sem dúvida. Como há um universo imenso de borboletas, não sei se já vi ou não esta espécie.
    Excelente partilha.

    Deixo os meus votos de um Feliz fim de semana.
    Beijinhos.

  8. We see this butterfly often here but they are hard to photograph. They don't light on flowers long enough. Yours is gorgeous!

  10. I like butterflies, I recently read about the number of kilometers and long distances they are capable of doing.
    They are beautiful and incredible.
    Happy Sunday.
