Great picture of a very interesting and beautiful butterfly, at the thumbnail I thought it would be a smiling butterfly, lol, excellent macro shots with great colors and details, thanks for posting, vote, Rosemarie :o)

These are just beautiful, Carol. Wow, I have never seen a Giant Swallowtail with its wings intact.. Hard to believe they are yellow underneath all that black/brown,
