That's a Pipevine Swallowtail, and they are absolutely everywhere right now, I had over 250 when I went birding yesterday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herschel Raney, who responded to my request at BugGuide, said this can happen when a male tries to mate but discovers that the intended partner is another male. Nice shot to you as well! I really like Robber Flies, they're so bizarre. Almost like creatures from another planet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more bugs than birds and with super zoom point shoot cameras it is easy to get good photographs. I'm not surprised this thread is growing so fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
