Thank you. The photo was taken last weekend, which was my first trip the Great Dismal Swamp. I am planning to go back again later in the spring.

Great capture! I don’t have the patience to follow butterflies around, so I really don’t get any good shots of them…. 🙂

Thank you. I lost patience with this butterfly but ran into it (or another Zebra Swallowtail) later in the day when it was much more relaxed. 🙂
