He was a bit leery so I could not get a real good shot, but hope you enjoy this one.

Tiger Swallowtail
Dear SCHWIDVICIOUS,
We know first hand how elusive Swallowtail Butterflies can be when there is a camera present, so we are happy to post your image of this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail to acknowledge your accomplishment. It appears as though he may be puddling, an activity engaged in by many male butterflies that often congregate in great numbers near damp places so they can drink fluids that contain necessary salts and minerals.
