Pipevine Built This, Pt. 2 - _TNY_0063
The pink rose (Atropaneura kotzebuea), formerly Pachliopta kotzebuea, belong to the tribus Troidini, the pipevine swallowtails - as the caterpillar of these species feed on pipevine leafs.
This particular one was photographed on a late August visit when the only photographs I took were of this particular species.
