Beautiful macro! I love the coloration and markings on Swallowtails – unfortunately, I’ve found our cat does also! :(

Having that Swallowtail around to photograph – you are so lucky. Such a nice balance with the lilac florets.

Great photo – those Swallowtails are so very difficult to photograph when flitting from flower to flower.
