Eastern Swallowtail Party

We saw 5 [what i think are] Eastern Swallowtails fluttering on the beach. Here's a very short video clip if you're interested: https://youtu.be/gNGDVQvXcw0
They stayed together for about 10 minutes. Very cool to see!

Beautiful and a very nice video.

[Allison Maltese]

Really nice line up and image, and I liked the video also. I think they are looking for water.

Stunning...its very rare to see all 5 butterflies together. Fav

Beautiful shot - how fabulous to find that group together - twice I have caught the zebra swallowtails like that in earlier years. This year - zilch!

[Denise Wood]

fantastic find :)

[Margaret Snell]

Great shot such clear detail of their wings. They look like the ones I saw by Golden Lake when I was in Canada visiting my sister. Like these they started to congregation together an there must have been about 20 of them. http://365project.org/oldjosh/365/2014-05-26 shows when they first started to gather

Well spotted and captured. Did you take the video also? They look as though they are doing a slow ballet.

@skstein Thanks Sandy! Yes, I took the video. I'm sunnygreenwood on youtube. There are other nature clips ones there too, if you're keen! lol. These butterflies grouped together were a new and a one-time-only site for me. It was a great day!
