I painted this Swallowtail Butterfly in watercolor and gouache on an antique French postcard. The flower is collaged on and is from a piece of antique scrap art. The butterfly comes from my collection that I gathered when working on my book 'Dragonfly Beetle Butterfly Bee'. Like all butterflies, this swallowtail tastes or smells with its feet which helps it to select the plant it feeds on. This butterfly is almost ready to land on this flower to see if it is the right one.
