Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
While we were driving through the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve today, we came across a pullout that was a butterfly observation location. There were a lot of orange and pink flowers that the butterflies were attracted to. We saw at least six different types of butterflies here. We didn't have time to really set up and shoot them properly so I think another trip is in order. Can't wait to go back again this week.
The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve is run by the Nature Conservancy and they are trying to preserve the ecosystem in the tallgrass prairie. It was mostly turned into farm land and the grasslands disappeared. This group has done a lot to change this and has made this location a great place to view nature in its natural setting.
