The lilac bush is blooming; filling the air with its heavenly fragrance… This Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucas) alighted only just long enough to have his picture taken. While the males are always yellow; the females can sometimes be black or brown. This is to mimic the coloration of the Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) which is poisonous.
