A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Papilio rutulus
Large butterflies with black and yellow markings with blue and orange spots near the tail. I was able to take pics of different views while it was nectaring on a Pacific Ninebark plant (Physocarpus capitatus). It's the first time I've seen swallowtails on this plant.
Spotted along the Snoqualmie rivers edge.
