Eastern Black Swallowtail [Papilio polyxenes] male
Sipping from echinacea
Lots of these beauties flitting between the gardens and flowers in Upper Beaches, Toronto. This is from my niece’s garden, on a beautiful, sunny and very hot day.
This is a male, of which there were many more than females. I took some shots of a couple of females, too, but they’re not great photos. They have fewer and less bright creamy yellow spots on the wings and more blue on the tail.
I think they’re beautiful!
