This is one of the pictures I took this morning when my lens kept fogging up from the humidity. This is the best one. The others are so foggy it's hard to see anything.

Is it a Swallowtail of some sort? I think I'll head on over to the Bug Files to see if I can find out. Anyway, it was very beautiful. I wish it had stayed long enough for my lens to clear.

Edited to say: Okay, I just checked Bug Files & I'm thinking it may be an 'Eastern Black Swallowtail'. . . I guess they're very common (if you know anything about Butterflies...which I don't).

I Love DG "Plant/Bird/Bug Files" and this wonderful thread!!
