Description
An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly visits a recently opened Michigan Lily. There is some pollen on the abdomen of the butterfly, which will pollinate a nearby flower when the butterfly continues its search for nectar. This was posted almost a year ago, but did not make it across to my current gallery when the changeover was made, so am reposting it now. Michigan Lilies are in peak flowering condition at Rondeau Provincial Park, where this photo was taken in late June 2012.
