This swallowtail butterfly is looking for someplace to lay her eggs. Swallowtails love parsley. It is one of their favorite plants for hosting their eggs. When they hatch, the swallowtail caterpillars will fatten up on the parsley leaves. They still leave plenty for my husband to use when he's cooking, though.
Robin. this is a fantastic photo, and the colors are so bright. Butterfiled are beautiful to watch.
That is an incredible photo, very nice catpure. The colors are very vivid. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Swallowtails are hard to photograph because they flutter their wings so fast and zigzag everywhere. You have to get the light just right, too, to see the iridescent blue color. They lay their eggs on parsley plants, since their caterpillars relish it.
Cheers,
Robin
Howdy there Robin
Wow another one of your very very fine photos to sit back, to look at and to enjoy Mother Nature. Thank you kindly, for taken the time to give us such enjoyable photos.
Hope your haven a real fine week!
Robin I think Dale is one step ahead of me this evening, seems I'm tagging behind this evening. I don't know much about butterflies but I do enjoy all your photographs. I can just see you zig-zagging around drying to get that perfect shot. As always, thanks for sharing.
Robin,
How in the world have I missed your blog in the Rain? I love your photos! I'm adding you as an associate and subscribing to your blog. I see many of my friends are here already. Much success!
