Here is an image of one of my favorite butterflies, the Zebra Swallowtail. I photographed this wonderful specimen at Splinter Ridge FWA here in Madison Indiana.
The Zebra has such a unique appearance and their sometime ferocious defense of their territory make them such an amazing species of butterfly you can’t help but admire them.
I once watched a beat up male chase away every other butterfly trying to feed on a patch of butterfly weed and after running them all off he turned his attention to me lol !!
And if you ever watch one flying thru an open field with it’s beautiful tail twisting in the wind you would understand what a wonderful animal they are. So if you ever get a chance to be out and come across the Zebra, take some time to sit and observe this great wonder of the natural world !!
The Zebra Swallowtail is one of my favorites. We have two Pawpaw trees in our yard so we have a lot of Zebra Swallowtails, along with Monarchs and other butterflies. Great picture!
Thank you very much !!
Beautifully captured! 😊
Thank you !!
Gorgeous butterfly and great image! Reminds me of the Scarce Swallowtails I saw in Greece earlier this year.
Thanks for taking a look !!
