We had to stop pulling weeds long enough to clean our hands and grab the camera. Several Western Tiger Swallowtails were flying about the garden and nectaring from the plumbago on the neighbor’s hill. It wasn’t so long ago that we lamented that we couldn’t get a decent image of the large Swallowtails sailing about as they never seemed to alight.
We even managed to get shots showing both ventral and dorsal surfaces.
