#Papiliozelicaon, the #aniseswallowtail, is a common #swallowtail #butterfly of western North America. I’m not sure if this is 100% accurate as the wing pattern isn’t an exact match but it’s the closest I could find. #Beautiful nonetheless
These sketches make me happy to look at. The moth thing was a doodle withoit reference, the rest were studies #art #drawing #penandink #insect #bug #bugs #sketchbook #aniseswallowtail #insects #butterfly

A large black and yellow butterfly.
A nice swallowtail… er wait… Anise Swallowtail! First one of these I ever saw, let alone photographed. Took this pic in July at Barrier Lake, Kananaskis Country, Alberta. 🦋
