EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a Pipevine Swallowtail male butterfly (Battus philenor) gracefully alights on a vibrant zinnia blossom in a flower garden located in Marion County, Illinois. The garden, teeming with a diverse array of blooms, provides an idyllic setting for this enchanting encounter. The Pipevine Swallowtail, a native North American butterfly, is easily recognizable by its distinctive black and blue wings, adorned with yellow markings and a prominent orange band. The male, as depicted in this photograph, exhibits more vivid colors and patterns compared to the more subdued female. As the Pipevine Swallowtail lands on the zinnia, its long proboscis curls up to reach the nectar deep within the flower. This butterfly derives its name from its preference for pipevine plants, on which it lays its eggs. The larvae of this species feed exclusively on pipevine, making it an essential component of the Pipevine Swallowtail's life cycle. This stunning photograph, captured by Danita Delimont, showcases the delicate beauty of nature and the intricate relationship between butterflies and the flowers they visit. The image is a testament to the importance of preserving diverse habitats and the role they play in supporting various species, including the captivating Pipevine Swallowtail. This photograph is for editorial use only and is not associated with any specific company. It is part of the extensive collection of nature images available at DanitaDelimont.com.
