A large yellow butterfly with black stripes (an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail) perches on lime green leaves. The butterfly is a female as designated by the blue bordering the hind wings; her hind wings and right forewing have been injured, most likely by predators.
“Happiness is like a #butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.”― Henry David Thoreau 🦋🌿 #ColorADay #YellowThu #InsectThursday #Pollinators #ECK #Butterflies #LawnPatrol #Insects
