Description
The Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucas) is a strong flier with distinctive yellow and black striped markings on its wings and body. This relatively common butterfly has a wingspan of 3.5-6.5 inches (9-16.5 cm). Southern subspecies are larger than the northern ones. These butterflies are called swallowtails because they have long "tails" on their hind wings which look a bit like the long, pointed tails of swallows (a type of bird).
State butterfly of North Carolina.
Thank you for looking at my Photography!!!

Cynthia, love the off-centered centering and contrast you created with the butterfly and white seed pods. The fading and feathering toward the edges I think really gives this an especially nice look. Very nice work! :)
