I did not realize there were giant swallowtail butterflies until I photographed this one in my friends backyard. I noticed unlike other butterflies in the area this one never stopped flapping its wings.

It's always fun to photograph a new and surprising subject. We used to see these in the annual butterfly count, but the fields where they were found got turned into soccer fields about 10 years ago.
