There was a surprisingly large number of Eastern Giant Swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes) butterflies moving about in the Yellow River State Forest. At one point there were five crossing a small stream together. This swallowtail fed at a small patch of Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) for over thirty minutes.

I’ve been waiting for these to show up. All their favorite flowers were blooming. I figured I’d see them soon.
