EDITORS COMMENTS
. Get ready for a jaw-dropping spectacle as the Chequered Swallowtail steals the spotlight with its lightning-fast flight skills! This Australian beauty, captured in all its glory by photographer Don Hadden at Standley Chasm, is a true showstopper. Known to be quite the low-flyer, these vibrant swallowtails prefer to stay within one meter of the ground. With their striking black and white checkered wings, they effortlessly glide through the air like acrobats performing daring stunts. But what makes this butterfly truly unique is its exclusive taste for Emu Foot plants (Cullen tenax). It seems these fluttering daredevils have developed a refined palate! Found only in Australia and Sumba Island in Indonesia, they are nature's secret aerial connoisseurs. As you admire this mesmerizing print, imagine yourself transported to West MacDonnell National Park in Australia's Northern Territory. Picture yourself witnessing this chequered marvel as it gracefully sips nectar from colorful blooms. A true feast for both your eyes and imagination! So let your mind take flight alongside this enchanting creature as it dances among wildflowers. Feel the thrill of being part of an extraordinary performance that celebrates wildlife wonders Down Under. And remember – no commercial use allowed; just pure admiration for Mother Nature's finest creations!
