Western Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio rutulus)
A striking representative of the Papilionidae family, the Western Tiger Swallowtail is instantly identifiable by its luminous yellow wings marked with bold black striping and delicate blue and orange spots near the tail. In this composition, the butterfly alights gracefully upon clusters of golden wildflowers—likely a species of rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa), a late-summer bloomer that draws pollinators in droves. Its long proboscis reaches deep into the nectar-rich florets, showcasing the intricate pollination dance between insect and bloom.
The scene captures the contrast between the butterfly’s vibrant, patterned wings and the sunlit yellow blossoms, with soft greenery providing a serene backdrop. This pairing of elegant form and warm color embodies the fleeting beauty of late summer in the wild.
