Lowe’s Swallowtail also known as the Black Mormon are from Africa. Both sexes are displayed.

Possibly the last weekend before the Butterfly Zoo shuts down for the season. It may be open next weekend but that depends on the weather.

A lot of butterfly pictures as of late. Hmm, I wonder if it’s because I have a season pass to the Butterfly Zoo at Tiverton, RI resulting in frequent visits?

Especially when a new species arrives. This week it was the Jade Green Birdwing Butterfly (Ornithoptera priamus). A magnificently large colorful butterfly.
