Zebra Swallowtail 2 of 3 DSC_7714

This series depicts three Zebra swallowtail butterflies that show noticeable color variations. This may be a demonstration of seasonal polymorphism, where early spring specimens are lighter in color, smaller, and have shorter tails. The three individuals were photographed on the same day at the same place.
