Thank you James. Zebra swallowtails are fairly common here because I have a paw paw grove but I've never seen them mating. And I have yet to find a larvae !
Gorgeous shot of a beautiful subject...well done
Thank you gatorfellows.
great spotting :)
Thank you Leana ! Ha ha yes I see what you're saying.
Beautiful capture Diane! I thought at a glance that it is a single butterfly :)
