Nice one Bill

Thank You
It’s the first time I seen this kind.
The butterfly and hummingbirds favor this large zinnia plant on the porch.
Took this picture from inside the house by the sliding glass door as it was several feet away..

I remember those Living in Midwest. I only see the yellow swallow tails around my area.
