Focusing Better - _TNY_1981
I visited the Haga Ocean butterfly in Solna, Sweden on a week end instead of during the week and was surprised by how many people were visiting. It was actually quite crowded, and a lot of them were standing in front of the chrysalises and the butterflies hatching there.
What I'm pretty sure nobody else was noticing was this gold rim swallowtail (Battus polydamas), also known as the tailless swallowtail as it is the only swallowtail in North America which lacks tails on the hind wings.
Ok, there was one more who noticed it. Look underneath the abdomen of the butterfly in the shadow there and you'll see one of the pesky and annoying ants which bother the butterflies.
This one was messing with my beautiful photo model here and made it twitch and eventually leave.
