Tiger Swallowtail on my Butterfly Bush (August 1, 2008)

Album Info:

A couple weeks ago, I had a photo in 3PAW of my Butterfly Bush blooming, but hadn't seen any butterflies come to visit it yet. Well, they have found it and I have taken hundreds of shots trying to get one in focus. Between the butterfly never stopping for a second and the gas bubble in my eye, I'm not sure if this is in complete focus, but it's the best I could do. I hope you like it! If anyone knows what type of Tiger Swallowtail this is, please let me know. P1320498

  • It's good to see your Butterfly Bush is working Sharon & Bob. Wow, what a great shot. I love the detail and color in your photo. Is that what the bush is actually called Sharon? Wonderful photo and you didn't have to go to a butterfly house to get it! These are the best. Ray
