Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus)(f) ~ on a Day Lily

There was a wind blowing so the pics are a miracle ! There is so little for them to feed on here. Everything washed away .Normally they wont touch the lilies.. so it shows you they are desperate !

EXPLORED !

Thankyou Jenny !

I was very happy with its predecessor the HX100.. and when that finally died I replaced it with this undated version. Dont buy it for the x63 zoom.. buy it for the macro and mid range zoom. I love it !

I also have the Sony a65 and several lenses..... but this is the workhorse that is welded to me and is used daily !

Brilliant capture & the colour match is great...... Don't know if it helps, but I went to a Butterfly farm & they had Bananas & other fruit which they seem to enjoy !!!
Hope you didn't have too much to clear up this time Pam xx

Very unusual to see them on those types of lilies or diving so deep into a flower to feed... Great shot =)

9 years ago.

Pam J ^club has replied to Fizgig

Thankyou Fizgig.

Yes... its rare to see them bother with the Lilies. Here though with the dreadful flooding we are having since early May.... we have little for them to feed on. So.. they are taking what they can get.
