Palamedes Swallowtail

This variety of swallowtail shows up here in the fall.

Female Spicebush Swallowtail

This picture and the next are of the same female Spicebush Swallowtail. Since I have spicebush (Lindera Benzoin) in my garden, which is their preferred caterpillar food, I am hoping for babies!

This is a good shot of the outside of the wing.

These beautiful butterflies float gracefully and quickly around my garden.
