A Two-tailed Swallowtail, our state butterfly, nectaring from a Wheeler's Thistle (Cirsium wheeleri) on Mt. Lemmon. (But you can see these butterflies in Sabino Canyon, too.) If you're new to this blog or if you haven't looked in a while, check out Ned's flickr site for this and other flying machines.
