Usually, butterflies torment me. Either they don't get close to me, or they aren't close to me long enough to make for a good pictures.
Last week, this eastern black swallowtail butterfly was so intent on feeding on a milkweed plant that it didn't care that I was getting closer and closer to it.
Making the approach.
