This swallowtail sat at the bottom corner of the door frame at my job. I was able to take several beautiful pictures. It even sat on my co-worker's finger. After about 20 minutes, it just flew away. I guess it had enough of the photo shoot.

Wildlife: Swallowtail Butterfly

It was the first day of using my new camera when I spotted a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly in our garden. The butterfly flew from flower to flower allowing me plenty of time to take quite a few pictures.

This picture is one of my favourites.

This guy was in my garden, so I took a series of them using the multi-burst feature (digital) and got one with it's wings open! I used the normal lens with high speed.

My Black Swallowtail Butterfly friend, she laid some eggs on my dill and the her children hung out for awhile to entertain me. The caterpillars only eat dill or parsley but the butterflies seem to like a lot more, it is enjoying some Oregano in this picture. By Melmarr from Lincoln Park, MI
