Thanks for the nice comment Pete..the thing with this practicing is that sometimes I get it right and sometimes not, but someday I will get it all right. LOL!!

Hiya Joan,

Great shot or a beautiful Butterfly, did a quick search & think this is it, a Green Banded Swallowtail (Papilio Palinurus) ???

Thank you for the wonderful comments Brian, Mark and Brian V.

Mark: you are right, it is a Green Banded Swallowtail (Papilio Palinurus). I believe it comes from Asia. We have a small Butterful House which I went to today and I took the picture there. Thanks for taking the time to look it up. Your link seems like a nice site which I will explore some more.

Thank you for the great comments Bernie and Bill. I am still in the learning process so all these nice comments from everyone is a great encouragement.

Bill: I am sure your butterflies will come out much better than mine if your other posts are anything to go by. LOL!!
