Tiger Swallowtail





TIGER SWALLOWTAIL (PTERORUS GLAUCUS), GREEN, MICHIGAN, MAY 28, 2012


Pentax K-5
Tamron SP AF DI 90mm f2.8 macro
Various shutter speeds; f13
ISO 1600

This pretty butterfly came calling to a colorful plant on our backyard deck and patiently performed several poses for his audience. This was gratifying, for in my experience butterflies in the wild flit about too rapidly to allow a photographer to compose a decent picture.
