Very nice and peaceful picture. After the day I had at work today I needed to see something peaceful. Was this taken during one of your digging adventures?
Beautiful photo of a Spicebush Swallowtail. Out here in the West, our subspecies is known as the Pipevine Swallowtail. It is basically the same butterfly, but ours' larvae feed on Dutchman's Pipe, a common roadside vine. We have hundreds of them around here in the Spring and Summer.
