My hubby, of 2 years, saw this butterfly while he was mowing last summer. He called for me to come out and identify it, as he is new to the "butterfly thing". He is very excited now to learn all about gardening, especially watching for butterflies.

You have a great photo of the giant swallowtail butterfly. They do not always sit still well for a photo. Great job!
Keep looking and encouraging him to also. Perhaps you can find the caterpillar this summer!
If you want more information on this beautiful large swallowtail see below.

Butterflies! We have a pair in our garden each year. Last year I think we had about 6 small yellow ones that play among the flowers in a synchronized manner. Very beautiful to watch among the blooms and even in the grass.
