Very good gallery.
As an european, it's nice to see the butterfly's of the US (they are realy alike, but slightly different).

Jane: Thanks for your comments. I am pleased that my site was helpful in making the ID of the Giant Swallowtail. They are indeed beautiful butterflies. Best wishes for seeing more of these gems of the sky!

Last Saturday I saw the most incredible butterfly. I tried to capture its image with my camera, but it wouldn't allow a clear shot. It was so large and graceful that I was totally mesmerized by its shape and form. All week long, I have been checking out butterfly sites on the web in hope of seeing it again. Today, I came upon your site. The photos are beautiful...soft and silent as though as I were looking through my window. Best of all, I found my butterfly. It is a Giant Swallowtail. Thank You!
