Schaus' Swallowtail (Papilio aristodemus), Key Largo, Florida
Rare, federally endangered. Full frame, not cropped.
This is a "dream come true" photo for me after several years of attempts. They are difficult to encounter, and once found, do not like to stay still. This was basking at the beginning of the day.
Males have the yellow clubs at the tips of their antennas.
