Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly on Milkweed Flower Macro
Papilio Polixenes
We love to watch the lazy back-and-forth movements of these velvety beauties as they sample milkweed in my butterfly garden. I have planted Milkweed, Mexican Sunflower to feed on and lay the Monarch's eggs. They always fan their wings as they feed. I planted Italian parsley for them in my herb garden to lay the eggs on for the baby caterpillars to feed on. When you look close and put your ear close you can hear the crunching of the parsley leaves and stems 😄.
From my archived folder.
Thank you all for the visit, kind remarks and invites, they are very much appreciated! 💝 I may reply to only a few comments due to my restricted time spent at the computer.
