This lovely Swallowtail is still intact but for how long! I am so sad for the ones who get crunched...

This is a real beauty. I love those dots of purple and red.

Very unusual coloration.

The tail reminds me of a flame. Nice shot.

A truly wonderful butterfly photo! We have the Tiger Swallowtails here also sometimes. I find it hard to get a good pic of them.

Sorry to hear about B&N leaving your town. Do you have any smaller book stores? I know I'm supposed to hate these "big box" stores, but I find I like B&N a lot and stop there often if for no other reason than to browse.

This photo is remarkable; the colors are splendid. PS. Just returned from Cuba; an amazing trip!

This photo certainly captures all the beautiful and different colors in this lovely creature.

I have trouble getting these beauties to sit still for me. Great shot!

It is the Arizona State Butterfly.
