citrus swallowtail

another native, and one I hadn't managed to capture before - Papilio aegeus.
The common name is given because they lay their eggs on citrus trees, so they aren't all that well liked - I however believe that sharing is caring :)
A beauty ! - love your sentiments !

Lovely butterfly! Surely her eggs don’t hurt the trees.

@louannwarren no they don't - but people like to keep bugs off their gardens usually - however I like to live with nature. That means the birds get some, the insects get some, the bats get some, other marsupials and mammals get some, and I get some. Works for me :)
