Eastern tiger swallowtail - a photo on Flickriver

Eastern tiger swallowtail

            Last summer was such a good season for these big beauties but they are scarce this year.  One flew by us yesterday and we both did a 180 to see it.  On one visit to our nature center last August I saw 30+ - this shot is from that visit.  The females have a lot of blue as in this individual - but females also can be black.  I've only seen one black Tiger this year and it was way back in Spring.

Thanks for the heads-up on Explore - I'll check it out!
