as I mentioned on yesterdays post about these swallowtails.....sometimes a hundred or so will congregate together (all males) before the mating game starts...I was fortunate to see close to 50+ at one spot this morning (who counts )..jonny

That's a great batch of work, Jonny. I'd hate to have to pick the beauty king out of that group of contestants.

That is a beautiful shot. Great Job.

Jonny, that's a dream shot. Excellent. Hallmark card stuff. I wouldn't flash that around swallowtails of the opposite sex or you'll have a fluttery stampede on your hands.
