Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
 A friend reminded me that the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail are active this year.  They drink nectar thus they land on several plants.  This one is on a Tall Ironweed.

The Prairie Dock is also in bloom and they like it's nectar too.  Prairie Dock is taller, as a rule, than Iron Weed.  I find that I am shooting with the blue sky as a background.

When did you get to view the underside of a butterfly like this?

I shall remember the precious moments of photographing these insects.  Summer is nearly over and school is starting.  Celebrate this summer with Nat King Cole.
