Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly
Tiger swallowtails are
common around my home in Holyrood. This morning I photographed a tiger
swallowtail butterfly ( it may be the eastern
tiger swallowtail) feeding on the lilacs in my yard. I
used my 70-300 mm lens to get close views without approaching too closely and
scaring it away.
If you look closely at the top left of the first image you can
see an out-of-focus hummingbird moth. To be honest, I didn’t even notice that
rare (at least around here) insect when I was making photos of the
butterfly. I hope to photograph one of these in the next few days. They seem
to enjoy the lilacs so I should get a chance before the blooms are gone.
