Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly!

After seeing the bee, that you'll see in the next photo, saw this guy just hanging out on these blooms. It was so surprising to see it just sitting there, almost motionless, so I fired off a bunch of shots. Not sure what I'll do with all of them, but it was nice getting them when the bf was sitting still. And it was in almost perfect condition.
What a super close-up. Was wondering if you were having to hunker down with the approaching hurricane.

@milaniet Thanks Milanie. Well, we haven't hunkered down too much so far. Fingers crossed, it's going to stay just far enough off of the coast so shouldn't be too bad. I'm sure we'll get some strong winds and probably lots of rain, but don't think this one is going to be too bad. Just hope it doesn't produce and tornadoes. Thanks for checking.

Beautiful close up, it’s also such a interesting flower.
What area do you live Rick? I am currently in the keys, windy ( very windy) but otherwise a nice day. (I live in Broward, Fort Lauderdale area). Luckily I heard Isaías is passing us. Stay safe!

@dutchothotmailcom Thanks Esther. I'm up in Jacksonville. So far, not a whole lot, just a little rain. From the looks of the radar, we should start getting a lot more rain and winds later on tonight and in the morning. Hoping that it just keeps moving on in the easterly direction and gets on out of here. Glad it wasn't too bad down there in you area. Thanks for checking.
