Giant swallowtail, life cycle

I have four photos for you today showing the life cycle of a giant swallowtail butterfly. The first is a pair coupling. I really like the symmetry in this photo. The second is her laying eggs. The small orange dot just below her on the same leaf is an egg. The third photo is a close up of the egg and the forth is the caterpillar which hatched from the egg.

Great shots Dan, thanks for sharing.

Nice shots and interesting as well.

Thanks for the comments.

Nice job showing the stages of life.
I hadn't seen that before.

It still amazes me how butterflies transform. Great timing capturing the action!

Awesome series. Well done!
