The Name Says It All
This is a Mocker Swallowtail. It was not very cooperative, preferring to perch in areas that were nearly impossible to access. As in, finding an opening in the plants clear enough to get a shot, and then having to get down on your knees - in public.
If butterflies could laugh, I know this one had a good belly laugh over my antics in trying to get a shot. Not "the" shot we're always after - just "a" shot... any shot.
Barely seen in the Cecil B Day Butterfly Center, Calllaway Gardens.
