Photo Phriday: Western Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly 0081

Last year, around this time (actually seven days from now…), the butterflies were already outside. That’s when I took this photo of a Western Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly, also called the Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly.

One of the trees the caterpillars feed on is the Willow. There used to be a number of willow trees in our neighborhood, but not so much anymore. But, the swallowtails still seem to be around. Last year, I also took a photo with both a yellow swallowtail and also a monarch butterfly on a butterfly bush.

In the local park, there is an area way back in the middle of the park (or, at least, there used to be–I haven’t been there in several years) that I dubbed “Butterfly Alley” because it was just filled (relatively) with butterflies. Perhaps this summer, I should go into the park with my camera and see if I can get some pictures. If Butterfly Alley is still around!

Here in Missouri, it’s almost May and I still haven’t seen a butterfly. It’s definitely a little disappointing.
