Here's a lovely little combo in the garden of Miriam Kahn at the clay tennis courts in RIverside Park. A female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) enjoys some phlox nectar ( probably P. maculata ), but found the peonies (Paeonia) and flags (Iris) equally tasty. She was either delighted or camera shy as she fluttered her wings at an unusually high speed and was very difficult to photograph. I saw my first tiger swallowtail about a week ago, but couldn't catch up to it with my camera.
