A common Eastern Swallowtail.
I definitely need to find a better background for this butterfly when summer arrives.

If you have editing software, you can soften the background, or you could try cropping closer to the butterfly.
Nice shot of a lovely insect

Thank. I thought about changing the background, and even the color of the flower. Figured I’d use my patience and reshoot it when I get the chance since I am not happy with it.
Thanks again :)

Beautiful…The eastern swallowtail is not as colorful as the western.
Ron Alcorn replied
Perhaps I’ll be more prepared this next year. We get different varieties of them here in Kentucky. Thanks :)

Ron, I want to apologize for saying that this swallowtail is not as colorful as ours are here in the west. Not thinking that neather is ours. The real colors are on the underside of the wings. So I was rude. I’m very sorry! I write before I think sometimes.
Ron Alcorn replied
No need to apologize. You wasn’t rude at all. :)
