Lots of #swallowtails this year-these two were chasing each other around the butterfly bush today (which is living up to its name!)

HAPPINESS.—A butterfly, which when pursued, seems always just beyond your grasp; but if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

~From “The Daily Crescent” newspaper in New Orleans, Louisiana, June 1948

Three different garden scenes. The first is a purple coneflower with a bee taking flight. The middle photo is of a Monarch butterfly in the garden. The final shot is a Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly on a purple coneflower.

I saw a Black Swallowtail gorging on some milkweed this afternoon. A stunner that let me get as many photos as I wanted.

And an absolutely stunning female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail today for #InsectThursday. She is enormous, with an estimated wingspan of at least 5.5 inches.

She is making a clear statement that #SwallowtailSeason is still kicking.

A giant female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Black form) on a golden Zinnia.

Depending on the first freeze, we likely have another eight weeks of the butterfly season. 🙌

Black Swallowtail chrysalis. You never know where they will show up. Its caterpillar decided to crawl twenty feet away from the Fennel that it had fattened up on and climbed an additional eight feet to attach to our house gutter.

Not one, but four pollinators on one thistle! The star being the Black Swallowtail on top.
