Swallow Tail on Nature Friday

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we have some pictures (and a short video) of the pretty Yellow Swallowtail butterfly to share.

The Yellow Swallowtail is by far the prettiest flutterby we see in our area.

Although Mama took this series of pictures at the ABQ Botanic Garden, we see these beautiful creatures all over our backyard and neighborhood during the Spring and Summer.

The beautiful butterfly not only lives in parts of the Americas, it can also be found throughout Europe and Asia.

 As you might be able to tell from the pictures, the Yellow Swallowtail is drawn to pink or mauve flowers and only dines on flower nectar.

Here is a short video of the Yellow Swallowtail Mama saw at the ABQ Botanic Garden:

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

Thanks for joining us for a look at the Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly.

Next week, Sunny and I are taking a break and are giving Mama control of the blog to record show you all the beauty and fun that she and Daddy had living the lake life in Minnesota in July.

In the meantime, we hope you all get out to enjoy some nature this weekend!
