When I first came upon this butterfly in the same patch of Daisies where I'd been photographing spiders for over a week, I thought it was a Pale Swallowtail. But, I decided to wait a while for it to come around the flower so I could get a full view of its back.
After four or five minutes went by, I saw just a little movement. A colleague stopped to say Hello and ask what I was doing. I said "waiting for this butterfly to come around to the front of the flower. As she left, she said "Good luck with that," probably not believing it would happen. I waited at least five more minutes; then it happened. I'm glad I waited. It turned out to be a closely=related new species, A Pale Swallowed-tail. :)
