The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is probably the most brightly colored butterfly I see where I live.

Look at all that color.

The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is one of my favorite butterflies to photograph.

They are beautiful and brightly colored.

The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is relatively common.

That means if you like photographing butterflies and you would like to photograph an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail then you can probably find one in the time of year when they are taking flight.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtails are also great subjects because they can bee see feeding from a variety of flowers which always makes for interesting photography .
