The Two-Tailed Swallowtail. I get down right giddy when I come across a species I’ve never seen before and this was one of those moments. Such a beautiful creature.

If I can differentiate a moth from a butterfly, that makes me happy. Identifying a species is a whole other ballgame, which I can’t play. 🙂
It’s 95% all about the antennae! But I’ve learned the names of the ones I’ve seen before so I get happy when it’s a newbie.
Beautiful. The Sandia Hairstreak Butterfly is the NM State Butterfly.
Thanks and I just looked it up. Ohio has a state insect, the ladybug.
così belle, fragili e gentili. sembrano venire dal paradiso
Grazie mille 🙂
I’ve never seen this one, Teri. Double-tail? Wonderful!
It was new to me too and I loved it!
