🐛 A #swallowtail #butterfly #caterpillar rests on a fennel plant.

It is feeding voraciously, storing up energy for its next transformation. From egg to caterpillar, from chrysalis to adult butterfly, each stage is an extraordinary example of adaptation and renewal.

At #Cultiva, in addition to food, we also cultivate curiosity, respect, and admiration for the natural world. Behind every leaf and every living being, there is a story waiting to be discovered. (1/2)

@gemlog @claudiom @northernlights @bstuf @koenig I realized I forgot to share the #swallowtail #butterfly I photographed on a street corner some weeks back in #montgomeryvillage #maryland.

Three #photos today. Saw this pipevine #swallowtail flittering around the backyard and eventually it zeroed in on the #pipevine I planted earlier this spring just for this species (its host plant). Captured it alighting on it then depositing a clutch of #eggs.

second time of photographing the spring form of the swallowtail butterfly (Papilio xuthus), they overwinter as a chrysalis, so the spring form differs slightly in size (smaller) and coloration (brighter) from the summer generation, and I wonder how long we can see the spring form of this butterfly...(3 photos) #butterfly #swallowtail #nature

There are not nearly as many of these swallowtails as a couple of years ago. I know, their numbers fluctuate, but anyway, I'm always glad when I can have a couple of shots. Each landing on a flower gives about 2 or 3 seconds to focus and click and then the insect moves to the next. Which could be near or far.

A dainty swallowtail, laying eggs on my lemon tree.

It didn't quite hit a record high today, but warm enough. Butterflies and bumblebees are busy.
Can you spot a tiny visitor on the white azalea's petal?
Have a good evening and a great weekend, everyone.
