Delicious Anticipation

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail -males- (Pterourus glaucus) Worcester County, Maryland

 

In mid-air, flying in this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail extended his proboscis in anticipation of the delicious nectar. The competition was fierce for the fragrant Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) blossoms. Numerous Eastern Tiger Swallowtails and two other species of Swallowtails were imbibing on the nectar.
