Solar Panels

Couldn't help but notice how flat this Swallowtail was holding his wings - like solar panels to soak up all the suns warmth and energy possible.

 

It was almost noontime and already the day was sweltering hot so it probably didn't take too long to get all charged up.

 

Seen in the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails Nature Center.
