Swallotail,Papilio machaon. A week ago,on Friday, noon- time...This butterfly was found at the entrance ,where I live..It was a day after I got some kind of a illustration quiz ,to find one captured buttery,which I did :-) It was the following day also after I got a recommendation of a friend , for a place to visit,where I took many other shots of butterflies.In many ways this butterfly is a symbol to my first REAL capture of butterfly...and much more,because I create so much with butterflies.Dedicated to the butterfly of my life...Have yourself most splendid day...THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS.Copyrights (c)Nira Dabush

Ditto to everyone elses comments,, I can't believe the depth of the wings seperate blocks if that's what they're called,, it's all so velvety,, I had no idea butterflys even had fur! or hair ... it's an incredible shot,, and yes, send it to National Geographic, or some society of butterflies... This is amazing..Greg Dubois 19 Oct 2007
