A Spicebush Swallowtail Photo to Close Out Butterfly Season
Original: The butterflies are gone for the season, but here is one to remember them by. This is a Spicebush Swallowtail on Scarlet
With butterflies gone for the season, a nature photographer shared a picture of a Spicebush Swallowtail resting on Scarlet Milkweed, taken at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. The photo dates back to August 2012 and was shot on an iPhone 4, which the photographer notes is no longer working. It offers a nostalgic look back at summer wildlife as the season ends.
Why now: People enjoy seasonal nature photography and reminiscing about butterflies as the season ends.
