Look at My Sheen!

This male spicebush swallowtail had the most beautiful green sheen in the sunlight. Read up on them and that is the identifying color for the males - so guess I've mostly seen the blue females before this. Peek at it enlarged if you can.

What a beautiful emerald shimmer! This looks wonderful enlarged. I think you will miss your butterflies when winter comes.
