Giant Swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes) a First for my garden !

I managed to grab 6 photos.... this one was the most reasonable .... but not great !. She never stopped moving !

Just thrilled to have a Lifetime First with it . Their wing tops are so black and they a very BIG !

I now have had 41 species of Buttterflies here in my 2 acres

EXPLORED !
