Black Swallowtail
David ,

Thanks again.

I am a retired physical scientist, who got a digital camera about three years ago. I am trying take recognizable photos and learn what I have taken. I plan to keep on until my camera runs out of digitals.

I frequent the Everglades when I can and wetlands in Indian when I can't.

Bill
