The same bush but a different day than when I saw the Black Swallowtail Upside Down there were two Yellow Swallowtails vying for the same feeding spot.

Carefully working around each flower orb, they never hold still for long.

Finally, having the spot to himself this butterfly spread full winged.

Lastly, an image showing off more of the flowers than the butterfly.

These are such beautiful shots Ellen! I don’t think I’ve ever encountered more than one butterfly at a time. Certainly have never photographed a pair before. Cool!

Sometimes I have to ask myself, why do some animals get all the beauty. Definitely not to please us. Wonderful photos.
