EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, specifically the female in its black form, gracefully alights on a Prairie Blazing Star flower at the Rock Cave Nature Preserve in Effingham County, Illinois. The serene beauty of this moment is captured perfectly by photographer Danita Delimont. The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, scientifically known as Papilio glaucus, is a common and beloved butterfly species in North America. Known for its distinctive black wings with bright orange and yellow markings, the female's black form is less frequently seen and adds an intriguing contrast to the typical male's vibrant colors. The Prairie Blazing Star, Liatris pycnostachya, is a native wildflower that thrives in prairie habitats. Its tall spikes of lavender-blue flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. The Rock Cave Nature Preserve, located in Effingham County, Illinois, is a vital habitat for numerous plant and animal species. This preserve, cared for by Richard and Susan Day, is a testament to the importance of preserving natural areas for the benefit of both wildlife and humans. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the delicate balance between nature and the creatures that inhabit it. The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail's elegant dance with the Prairie Blazing Star showcases the beauty and interconnectedness of the natural world.
