Field Notes

Description:

Spotted this Asian Swallowtail in a garden in Jeju. I believe the gardeners specifically chose the flowers to attract them since I spotted quite a few butterflies during my short walk. The Asian Swallowtail has color vision giving them an advantage when foraging for plants.
