The lovelorn Mormons flew slowly past me and landed on the lower leaf of the mango tree.

The Crimson Rose became tired of chasing his partener and rested for a while on the eggplant bush. You can see his crimson body.

Now I know why he coudn't fly as high as the female. The slight damage to the wing makes so much difference. Hope he finds a partner soon.
Very nice! We have swallow tails in Canada that are mostly yellow with shades of black and brown.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I get a lot of swallowtails in summer... flocks of them!
