Injured Easern Tiger Swallowtail

[Reigh Higgins]

Unfortunately this swallowtail has been injured and was unable to fly. He is missing a small amount of his wings just below the thorax. He was very co-operative for this photo.

And a great photo it is. I used to collect butterflies when I was young. I remember swallowtails were quite rare.
