Black Swallowtail Upside Down

This Black Swallowtail took full advantage of a Buttonbush flower cluster, checking it out from multiple angles while upside down.

He rotated around the orb while constantly manipulating the flowers.

In typical butterfly fashion when he was done he just let go and flitted off.

Thanks, Belinda, glad that you liked them. We haven’t seen many butterflies this summer, not sure if it is too hot, too wet, or what.
