Tiger Swallowtail

I finally saw my first Tiger Swallowtail butterfly of the year. They love the dwarf lilac bush that's near our house. I just checked my photos from last year and it was May 30th that they were following me around the garden! Late spring this year! Thanks very much for dropping by.

Just gorgeous! And nice job catching a butterfly. Honestly every one I've seen this year looks like a kid who has had too much sugar. They move so fast and never light down on anything.
