Dressed in Black

The “Wings of Fancy” exhibit opened for the season yesterday at Brookside Gardens, so I planned to go there soon, but when I awoke to pouring rain, it seemed like a good outing for today.  This is a Great Mormon (Papilio memnon) butterfly native to southern Asia that belongs to the swallowtail family. 

As I am quickly using up my extras, I have posted a few others to Flickr if you are interested.
