Field Notes

Habitat:

Found in our vegetable garden feeding on Bidens alba flowers.

Notes:

I was walking through some Bidens trying to photograph other insects when this swallowtail landed right in front of my face upside down. So I couldn't resist taking some picks even though I have plenty of them from the top.
