The Tiger Swallowtail gets so involved with harvesting nectar that they litterally wraps themselves around the blossoms they feed from. In this case it was a bit windy and the wings are used to hold on. I added a few links to other shots taken this day of this beautiful specimen feeding from Blazing Star.</p> Tue, 15 Dec 2009 06:59:34 -0800 2009-07-31T11:57:15-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (DrPhotoMoto) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/4187909414 Down to Business <p>This is one of my favourite butterflies.
