Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Swallowtail family

Thought I'd take a quick break from posting photos of my week's trip to Yellowstone, and also add a splash of colour. Couldn't find a photo on Google last night of a butterfly that looked exactly like this one, but I think it could possibly be a Great Mormon? Taken (on an Hibiscus flower) in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on 8 September 2012. I don't usually get a sky background at the Conservatory, but this was a very tall Hibiscus, so I was looking up towards the glass ceiling and sky. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_memnon#Female_form_butlerianus

If I remember correctly, this was the only time I ever saw this species of butterfly in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Taken on 23 August 2011. Isn't it a beautiful butterfly (even with one missing "tail")? "The Tailed Jay (Graphium agamemnon) is a predominantly green and black tropical butterfly that belongs to the swallowtail family. The butterfly is also called Green-spotted Triangle, Tailed Green Jay, or the Green Triangle. It is a common, nonthreatened species native to India, Sri Lanka through Southeast Asia and Australia. Several geographic races are recognized." From Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphium_agamemnon
