Two Black Swallowtail butterflies land on a twig beside low vegetation.
An outdoor, close up, eye level side view of two Eastern Black Swallowtail butterflies landed on a twig that is very close to the ground. The front butterfly has 6 orange spots on its wings. The back butterfly is partially obscured by the front butterfly. The outer edge of its wings has white lines along the edges. The butterfly's wings are sticking straight up. The ground is covered in small patches of thin grass, dead leaves, and twigs. The background of the frame is very out of focus. The butterfly is facing to the right.
