Black swallowtail (em>Papilio polyxenes)

There were two of these beauties nectaring on the sow-thistle patch just west of the Scotch pines. They would not keep still, but fluttered quickly from flower to flower, sipping briefly at each. They are such beautiful butterflies and I was quite happy to get a few shots, even if not the best.
