Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) touching down on a Temple Orange tree. I believe this is a female, and she appears to be laying eggs. If she is, Mom is not going to be happy about having caterpillars munching on her orange tree! (but we do enjoy butterflies, so maybe this one time it’s okay…)
Location: Pinellas Park, Florida

If you like Yellow butterfly on orange tree, you may also be interested in White butterfly on yellow flowers…
