Today I was able to witness the final stage of the butterfly life cycle. One of the Swallowtail butterflies decided to stop in and hangout for a bit on the tree that served as its host. Notice in the background an empty pupa that was home to either him or one of his friends.

He was very patient while I excitedly snapped photo after photo of him. I love his under wing coloring.

Finally, he got tired of me harassing him and flew off. Luckily I got this motion photo.
