Males are most likely found on dirt, either "puddling" or waiting to ambush a female

Desktop CleanupHere is a photo of a tiger swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucus). It's been sitting on my desktop because I don't particularly like backdrop of dirt and gravel. But it is either post or delete and it doesn't hurt to show it to you.

My gallery is mostly of bird photographs, but I include some insects such as butterflies, moths, and dragonflies. Take a look:

"The image depicts a butterfly with striking yellow and black patterning on its wings. The butterfly is resting on a ground composed of soil, small rocks, and sparse vegetation. Its wings are partially open, revealing the intricate details of the pattern. This snapshot provides a glimpse into the butterfly’s natural habitat." - Copilot

This pair of #Swans and their juvenile #Cygnets have set up a resting spot on the banks of the #Canal and on the edge of the shared #Cyclepath and #Footpath. I'd passed them before but didn't have a camera with me at the time. As you can see, they have no concerns with people being quite close by but someone told me that they've been quite aggressive, no doubt if someone has been perceived to be a threat.
