Description

This is a resting female Great Yellow Mormon Butterfly (Papilio Memnon, also a subspecies Papilio Iowii) It is a member of the swallowtail family and is known as the Asian Swallowtail. The beautiful tails are still in great shape on this particular one.The males are usually much plainer and almost all black, but the females actually vary quite a bit from each other. This gorgeous female has pink around eye-spots, a yellow body and thick black veining on its wings.

I took this photograph at the Franklin Park Botanical Gardens and Conservatory in Columbus during a wonderful visit in the summer at their annual Butterflies and Blooms exhibit. I dearly love my backyard butterfly buddies who I can visit every day in warm weather, but it is a special treat to see the gorgeous beauty that people in other parts of the world get to enjoy in their little piece of our wonderful planet!

I really appreciate you taking time to look at my artwork. Thank you so much!

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
