While in Il, USA I spied a new to me Butterfly at one of the reserves I visited.
The Giant Swallowtail is the largest Butterfly of all of North America, but Female Tiger Swallowtails are nearly the same size.
They live mostly in the Eastern US and it typically stays in wooded areas and residential gardens.
This one looks like an adult and a bit tattered, but I was thrilled to see it!

FYI- I’ll be taking a break from the blog until mid August. I’ll have limited internet so I’ll catch up with you then. Be safe, and well until then!

Happy to say the Swallowtail is a familiar sight around here (and yes, I’m in the eastern US). Beautiful shot, Deborah!
Very nice images. I miss milkweeds and all the butterflies it enjoy them.
I love butterflies, and this one is beautiful. Thank you! Enjoy you time away, Deborah.
I always enjoy seeing butterflies, Deborah. This is a lovely photo.
It looks like a wonderful pose. Love it!
Lovely! Have a nice break, Deborah!
They are gorgeous! Did you hear that monarch butterflies are now an endangered species? 😦
Hope you’ll have lots of time to chase butterflies during your hiatus: are you doing something fun?
They are so beautiful. Enjoy your hiatus, Deborah.
Have a good break, Deborah
Thanks for the picture of the giant swallowtail. There were several swallowtails here both yellow and black varieties while I was dabbing pollen yesterday. There was also a swallowtail caterpillar on the fennel. I will have to see if it is still there and get a picture today. Enjoy your travels Deborah.
Enjoy!
Enjoy your stay Deborah, whereever you will be going. Come back safely!
Bon voyage till the next time.
