The first Black Swallowtail of the year... and she is 6-8 weeks late arriving ! Oh I know this is blurred.. but my telephoto is not a good one.... and this butterfly was 20 feet up in my Acacia tree ! and it simply did not stop for more than 2 seconds. I had the camera at arms length above my head in a temp of 104F !!
