15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Swallowtail on Butterfly Bush
Swallowtail butterfly feeding on the flowers of the bush. I wanted a photo depicting the proboscis in the flower. This swallowtail obliged me by feeding long enough for a few shots. I am a citizen protector of pollinators, so this is my medium!
