Eastern Tiger Swallowtails dining
Hi again Lisa Anne and Daniel,
I just wanted to add my favourite picture from my recent vacation, taken at Washington Island (Door County, Wisconsin). I met these beautiful Eastern Tiger Swallowtails when my memory card of the camera crashed. It took me 20 nervous trouble shooting minutes until I could finally take this shot. I hope you enjoy it.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for sending the photo of the Tiger Swallowtails puddling. Some species of butterflies drink water from puddles, and often, the nastier the water, the more they like it. We noticed your photo is enormous. Perhaps you were having a problem because the image is 6.2 M and that is overkill unless you plan to make a billboard.
