A First Time for Everything
Black Swallowtail
I seen one of these a couple of times at a distance, but never got a shot before. I have some Verbeba bonariensis that reseeded itself, and the other day I ventured out to get the mail sans camera. I thought I had learned that lesson, but there I was with no camera and the swallowtail was right there near the door. I dashed back upstairs, muttering 'Please don't leave, please don't leave'.
He was still there, and I got a few shots, but the wind was blowing and he's pretty beat up, so they aren't wonderful.
