Spicebush Swallowtail
by Bud Hensley (Bud) 
Camera:
Pentax K10D
Location:
Middletown, Ohio
 
United States of America

Photographer Notes:
Three years ago we dug up half of our back yard and planted a butterfly / hummingbird garden to attract... well, you get it. This morning, the first caterpillar that over-wintered here through sub-zero temperaturers, popped out as a beautiful Spicebush Swallowtail Butterfly. I've said it before... Nature is SO COOL!

Nice return on your investment Bud. I'll be planting sunflowers in my garden tomorrow. They are suppose to be butterfly attractors too. This is a beautiful shot Bud.
