Swallowtail butterfly on zinnia


We have lots of butterfly visitors in our zinnia patch, but it's hard to get a picture because they're always moving. The trick is to stand still and wait until they come close.

If you're interested in butterflies native to the Sonoran desert, here's a link to an informative article, or you can download this pdf on Pollinators of the Sonoran Desert, which has color pictures not only of native butterflies, but also hummingbirds and other pollinators.
