Caught in My Own Backyard!

First of the pretty yellow swallowtail butterflies, this pretty tiger was visiting my lantana - Hope he'll do a repeat visit.

A beautiful capture Milanie. Actually, Lantana camara is a noxious plant in so much of south eastern Australia. It has taken over lots of natural bushland.
