Excited to capture this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on our butterfly plants yesterday!! As you can see, the edges of the wings have some damage, but it sure didn't affect its flying capability!

(This species has the honor of being the state butterfly of five eastern states: Delaware, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. As a member of the Swallowtail family, it joins its relatives in being the largest group of butterflies on the continent. They are extremely easy to attract, flocking to gardens that have an abundance of flowers. They are good pollinators and worth attracting for aesthetic reasons as well. They can also be seen flying on open roads, in woods, meadows, fields and parks.--Insectidentification.org)
