Artist's Comments

The Eastern tiger swallowtail, Papilio glaucus, is a large (12 cm wingspan) swallowtail butterfly. It is found in the Eastern United States, as far north as southern Vermont, and as far West as extreme Eastern Colorado. It flies from spring through fall, and most of the year in the southern portions of its range, where it may produce two or three broods a year.

I was lucky enough to find this lovely fellow in the bushes outside my house one sunny afternoon. It seems he's a little far from home -- I hope he got wherever he was intending to go safely. He loved the camera &I was lucky enough to snap this photo! It's amazing how the tiniest things can make your day so much brighter. :)
