Just wanted to share the pretty visitor I had out in my backyard this afternoon. It was even nice enough to pose for me.

Thats gorgeous, is it a Swallowtail butterfly?:sunny:

Here, I thought you were going to show us a Cicada!:cool:

I'm still patiently awaiting their arrival. Thurs. is supposed to be D-Day here!:D
 
Oh wow, how beautiful that butterfly looks!!!!
 

It's a Tiger Swallowtail........

I used to see them in SoCal all the time before I moved away.

They're my favorites!!!
 
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail!

BEAUTIFUL, Roberta!

I LOVE BUTTERFLIES....thanx for sharing....there was one is our yard yesterday, but didnt land, just flew by.
 
Wow--you get butterflies all the way over there in the BIG city Roberta???? ;) I'm over here in E.B. (j/k folks, we probably live all of 10 minutes apart, she is in the city, and I am in a rural/country small town.)

What a beautiful butterfly, and I cannot believe you got that close, and that it posed for you.

Really nice
 
I was nervous Roberta, I thought you were going to say you had a coyote in your backyard, like in Hull!:eek:
Your visitor was beautiful...hope we get some pretty ones soon in Mansfield.
 
Swallowtails will usually ignore you, hence the great pictures. Monarchs are camera shy though.
 
Beautiful Picture...thanks for sharing!
For all of you in Massachusetts (and visitors) next time your in Western Mass. Check out Magic Wings....right down the road from the gaint Yankee Candle factory.
We went there a few years ago..it was just amazing!
