Beautiful Western Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio rutulus) butterfly

7/10/09
Beautiful Western Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio rutulus) butterfly working the new flowers of Purple Coneflower (Echinaceae purpurea) in the Composite (Asteraceae) family in the garden today. A bird got a good part of its left hindwing, but missed the butterfly itself - as intended. (San Marcos Pass, 10 July 2009)

This butterfly looked so brilliant that I thought it might be something exotic, but I think it checks out as a Western Tiger Swallowtail.

I'm tired of the spam and junk email that I just have to delete, so I'm closing my guestbook for awhile. Only my Friends/Favorites can post. *Sigh* - this goes against the whole idea of fotolog.

If you really want to comment on my photos and you're not on the list, send email and I'll consider your request.
