Giant Swallowtail
This giant swallowtail butterfly was on the move looking for nectar but pickings were slim compared to a month earlier so it kept returning to tithonia blooms. There’s a bit of tatter on the outer edges of its wings but that doesn’t distract from the beautiful markings and colors. After fueling up it found a host plant and deposited some eggs for the next generation.
Happy Monday!
