Description
A beautiful black female eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly foraging on and surrounded by pink phlox in a lovely garden, mid September in Pennsylvania. I wanted to get the bottom and top of her colorful rear wings in one image, which somewhat succeeded after a couple hundred shots. : )

What a beautiful capture, Byron. I can appreciate your efforts following this little beauty around the garden. They do a lot of flitting here and there. :) v16/fv

Dear Anne, Carol, Donna, Lianne, Anand, Sharon, Nancy, thanks so much for your appreciation of this image! This butterfly wore me out! I usually get to take just a few shots of any butterfly. I've never taken so many shots of a single subject---there was an arrangement of maybe 3 phlox bushes in a section of the garden, and she kept flitting from one bush to the next, and back, with me following and squatting and kneeling, etc.for 45 minutes! 10:41-11:25! I finally called it quits, did get a few nice shots... : )

What incredible detail Byron - and the colors are just wonderful as well. Love the focus here too - the butterfly just pops off the page as if it were a 3-D image. Fabulous work. F/V
