I have evidence to prove that I did see a black butterfly. I didn't think I was ever going to capture her on the camera. I went out and took three shots before she left. I got this one good shot and one blurry one. It just was not friendly like the yellow eastern tiger swallowtails.
The second shot that I took is an amazing view of the butterfly but it doesn't give anyone much information about it. I will be interested to see if it will come back and visit again. It took off going up the street once I started taking pictures. I did look it up for identification and it is a female swallowtail because of the blue coloring on the inside base with an orange dot centered at the base. I wanted to get a side view but that didn't happen. They are mostly just black on the outside of the wings with very slight pattern of gray shapes. I do hope to get a better photo of it another day.

I love the butterfly! Sometimes I go out chasing a particular butterfly and NEVER get a shot!
Great sighting! I've never seen one.
Wow !
You did better than I ever would. The second shot is rather good. It's not often we see that expanse of wings on a butterfly.
I ever got chance to capture a good shot on butterflies, as they keep moving every time I try. Truly amazing shots and good observation
