This is a swallowtail butterfly I captured with my camera while he landed momentarily on a lantana in my back yard. I then digitally painted it to enhance my vision. The photograph is titled �A Moments Rest�. Which one do you like better? This swallowtail family contains species that are the largest butterflies in North America. Swallowtails get their name from the "tails" on the back edge of their wings that reminded people of the forked tails of Swallows. Adults swallowtails have black or black and yellow/white wings, sometimes with additional blue or red markings. All Michigan species have the tails on their hindwings, but some species in other parts of North America don't have them.
