I don't often see Swallowtails out here where I live in Central Texas. Maybe I'm not on their migratory path?
In any case, when I do see them, they're moving so energetically that getting an image at all, much less a decent one, is nearly impossible for me.
They're fairly swift, like to fly in and around trees and like to be in the upper branches more often than not.
While out cutting branches and boughs to improve my internet signal, I saw this Giant Swallowtail (yes I brought my camera with me to cut trees) and managed to snap several images that were worth looking at in general.
Enjoy!
