23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Two Butterflies Composite on Korean Lilacs
I added the Northern Crescent Butterfly on the left in a closeup along with an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, that I captured 5/29/2025 pollinating Korean Lilacs in our yard. The Northern Crescent which is in reality a small butterfly had been in the woods the afternoon of 6/15/ 2025, which I captured on a Plantain leaf. I enlarged it to show a better view of it, and made a composite of the two butterflies together with the Korean Lilacs. Unfortunately, We saw very few butterflies this year in our area.
