I am encouraged by early sightings, that 2006 will be a great year for butterflies!
I saw several butterflies this morning as I was out walking the neighborhood. Most of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtails I spotted were on the move, with a few up in the treetops. This fellow stopped for a minute to bask in the sun and warm his wings, letting me grab a quick photo.
Not my best photo, but I am sure that I will have many more opportunities as the weather grows warmer.
The summer of 2003 was a good time for spotting Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies in Atlanta. I saw them on numerous occasions and once spotted five on a single bush.
All of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail photos displayed on this page were taken at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA. The photo at right is of a male butterfly, and was taken on 27 July 2003. The lower left photo of a colorful female was taken on 3 August 2003. The lower right photo shows a black female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, and was taken on 10 August 2003.
