Still Beautiful, Pt. 3 - _TNY_0260

The emerald swallowtail (Papilio palinurus), also known as the green-banded peacock, is a spectacular butterfly with the dorsal side of the wings covered in iridescent green scales (like so: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52917346784/).

 

This one wasn't interested at all in showing me the green side here, but I think it came out as a really nice shot anyways.
