I was walking around my barn on Friday, and was looking at the A/C for my rodent room, when I noticed a butterfly in a Spider web. It was dead, but it appeared to be in very good shape, so I thought I would take the opportunity to get a very good picture of a butterfly (most of the time you spend chasing them and hoping they spread their wings). Here is the best shot I got of this Eastern Tiger Swallotail (Papilio glaucus).

I only have one other butterfly documented on my wildlife page, and it happens to be an Eastern Black Swallowtail. I think a goal for this year is to get some more butterfly pics, as they seem to brighten my day.

Enjoy:


Thanks for looking,
