Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus)

Female swallowtails are dimorphic, meaning two distinct phenotypes (morphs) exist. In the dark morph, areas that are normally yellow are replaced with black or dark gray. The signature “tiger stripe” pattern can still be seen on the underside of some dark females. These butterflies live in deciduous broadleaf woods, forest edges, river valleys, parks, and suburbs of the eastern United States.

Ted Gore - Some forest fires had been burning recently, and a haze of fire smoke lingered on the horizon. When the sun rose that day, the light was being filtered by the thick smoke and instead of a searing, bright ball of light that was painful to look at, it… wasn’t. You could just look right at it. Shot at Crater Lake, Oregon.
