Never seen one before. Was out walking the property checking on the storm damage and saw this fluttering about. A few quick shots.

        I'll be on the lookout from now on. Seen other swallowtails but not one like that.

        I notice a zebra swallowtail in my garden usually once or twice in a season. Not often. And not often with the wings open!

        I didn't know one was nearby.

        I believe I saw one last week, but it was fleeting and I can't be sure
