I’ve referred to this type of butterfly as a Black Swallowtail before, but have learned it is probably a Palamedes Swallowtail.
Either way, this one put on a nice show for me while he was getting some sustenance from statice growing at the edge of a pond.
I was able to shift a little and get a different background that was all vegetation.

Awesome captures, Ellen. Good you could shift a little for the third photo, the background is softer.
Beautifully caught!
Thank you!
