Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for sending us your high quality image of this dramatic puddling event. Swallowtail butterflies are one of the families that frequently gather at water puddles to drink, the benefits being both moisture and minerals. We are sure some of our readers are very curious where this image was taken.

Hey Daniel,
sorry I forgot the location. It was taken in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Gatlinburg, Tennessee
