Spring Time Butterfly

My son called to me that he just saw a really big butterfly. So, I went to see it and sure enough, it was really big, and very pretty. It’s colors contrasted so nicely with the pink Azalea’s it was feeding from.
With the help of the internet in just a few minutes I discovered this butterfly is a female Tiger Swallow tail.
I love living in Florida, I don’t think I have ever seen a Tiger Swallow tail before, but I can assure you if I did, it was not in March.
