Saturday Visitor

Upon my return from walking Bailey this afternoon, I saw this little guy hanging around my lantana plant. It took me what seemed like hours to find my camera, so I thought surely he would be gone by the time I did. Annoyed, I quietly opened my front door and found him still fluttering about. I think he is a Western Tiger Swallowtail, and he could very well be a she. I did not research farther than Wikipedia. The he/she Swallowtail hung around quite a while - I guess that's why lantana is also known as a butterfly bush!
