Description
both would not let me approach close enough for macro and never would stay at a flower for more than 5 seconds but I think you can get an idea of their beauty and how large they are. thanks for your visit and comments

Wonderful captured this swallow tails. I know they are very seldom and quite big, but I never have seen one without a needle in his back (shame)!!! Thank you for bringing us all this insects and animals more near, Richard. I enjoy to see your photos and to learn new things about your country and the nature!! Hugs Ute

Beautiful butterlies!! I love it when the swallowtails come into my yard. We get a lot of the Tiger Swallowtails and a few of the Giant Swallowtails, and you are right, they are very shy!! Great capture on these two different butterflies!!!

I have never seen the black ones and never the giant size of these..wow! This song came to mind immediately.."Across my dreams, with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love" I love how they seem to be elusive and yet seem to want to show off a bit for you.And the patterns on the wings are just beautiful!! Beautiful images Richard, a lovely gift indeed!

Silent, gently moving, perfect timing and struggling with leg muscles that complain about the strange positions typical of a nature photographer. The reward here has been great and size of these butterflies can readily be appreciated compared to the flowers.

Richard, Amazing isn't it, how as artists we work so hard to achieve a beauty that is so evident in the natural world? These are beautiful fragile creatures whose lifespan is far too short! Thanks for sharing these beautiful images! Leanndra
