The Eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly, that is.
This fellow is taking a much needed rest after migration and feeding on dandelion blossoms. He clearly had a rough trip.
The swallowtail on his right wing has been lost somehow in transit. It didn't detract from his grace and beauty, though. He still sailed without noticeable effort on the breezes and landed with perfect precision. We're always delighted to see these lovely butterflies return to the area.

I have been seeing them in my garden too.

Nice, Sheila! I love watching them - a little bit of sunshine on the wing. :)
