male eastern tiger swallowtails are always yellow.
females can be yellow too, with a splash of blue on their tails.
females can also be a darker color..enjoy them while you can...
their life span is only 2 weeks. they are spectacular!
they are the state butterfly of alabama, georgia, south carolina, and delaware.
Wow! Only 2 weeks! I didn't know that, Merry, and I also didn't know we had a state butterfly! I learned something from your post, and I also enjoyed your super gorgeous shots of the yellow fellow!!
