Bizarre! A Swallowtail with Two Different Wing Colorations
Walking to lunch today in Brevard, North Carolina, I came across this Swallowtail with two totally different wing colorations. I've never seen anything like it! At first, I thought it was two different butterflies piggy-backing around (itself bizarre) and I'm so very lucky to have had the camphone with me. Add to the list of odd creatures seen in this town: Swallowtails of duelling identity, white squirrels, alligators in whitewater rivers, and blue-light lightening bugs.
I'm going to look at my other shots and see if they are any clearer.
UPDATE: See comment by badthing below... explained!
