Black Beauty, Pt. 2 - _TNY_1644

This beaut with the pretty rows of white spots along the black body is a black swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes). It's an American species and a real stunner if you ask me.

 

In this shot, you can see a little of the dorsal side of the wings which are mainly black and yellow. Part 1 shows a little more of those though: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52656137742/
