This is the first time I have noticed them on the fan flower. Eastern Tiger Swallowtail ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden ) Eastern Tiger Swallowtail ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden ) Eastern Tiger Swallowtail ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden )
I had watered my hanging baskets and they are on pulleys because they were hard for me to reach. They were hanging down and the wind was spinning them so I carefully pulled them back up to the hanging height and secured them with my small bungy cord to keep them from spinning. The butterfly never left. So I took my pictures as he kept enjoying the flower. Thank you Cherylad
The swallowtail couldn't have picked a better colour to be photographed against. It really stands out nicely against the fan flowers.
