Black Swallowtail on wild flower - a photo on Flickriver

Best: View On White

View On Black

While out photographing birds in Iberia Parish this small black swallowtail came by feeding on some nearby wildflowers. I just had to try to get some pics of it with the 500mm lens and 1.7xTC. First insect with this lens.

On this day I met with Flickr member Gary (ImageHunter1) and we 'shot' birds all morning long! He has a lot of great images and they can be found here:
