Pipevine Swallowtail II 9862by *Eolhin

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Invertebrates

This is a digital photograph of a Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly (Battus philenor). It is a bit the worse for wear though, and the swallowtail part is missing. A viewer corrected me on the identification of this one. I had originally identified it as a Spicebush Swallowtail, going by the little booklet that the butterfly garden handed out, which in this case, was incorrect.

Thank you.

Oohhh. The butterfly has a lovely color that the artist in me is just drooling over. I might even use it for a picture somewhere because the color shading is just wow...

Feel free to sample the colors from this.

Poor little guy, the colors he has are phenominal, that black turning to teal looks so velvety.

Yes, I was trying very hard to get a good photo of him. I hope that next time I go there, there is more then just one of this kind. *L* Perhaps even one with wings fully intact.

Hee hee I hope so too

He is a little worse for wear, but it give him character
