A Flutterby

There are bloggers out in the blogosphere who take and publish fantastic butterfly photos. This was my attempt to do the same.  It's pretty sad, I know, but than again I know so little about these overgrown moths, I thought this was a Monarch flutterby. However, I've been informed by someone who does know about such things that no, this is not a Monarch, but some sort of swallow tail.

I shan't argue the point except to note that's a really dumb name.  Does it swallow its tail?  What tail? 

On another note, I'm probably going to be a bit slow at commenting the next few days, but not to worry because I shall be checking out all blogs that do not feature flutterbys.
