I caught this image of a swallowtail butterfly on my back porch. My pesky terrier chased it up into the orange tree from my photo op in the flowers. It turned out ok though. Note the tail coloration and the “false eye” it uses to avoid predators, like pesky terriers.
Nature is all function, and sometimes creates the most beautiful creatures in its niches of survival. Unfortunately, I can't see the eye in this picture. But I know what swallowtail when I see one and this one is a beauty–worth a poem.
Explore the mystery of how nature makes unexpected gifts of creative wonders to an unsuspecting caregiver one late night and early morning in southeastern Georgia, USA.
