The camera you have [View all]

may not be the one you want...

While fixing lunch, with a hamburger on the stove, I spotted a Black Swallowtail and a hummingbird squaring off over this blooming Encore azalea. My camera was in another room, so I grabbed my phone from the kitchen counter to see if I could get a decent shot. It has been my experience that Black Swallowtails are very difficult to photograph because they flit from one blossom to another much more quickly than the Yellow Swallowtails.
