Description
This gorgeous insect is the Arizona State Butterfly, the Two-Tailed Swallowtail. It is visiting agastache flowers.
I took the photo on 8/14/22 with a 300mm prime lens plus 2.0 teleconverter on an OM-1 Olympus mirrorless camera, at ISO 3200 1/2000s f/8. I posted a version of it a year ago. I decided to rework it, running it through Topaz Photo AI. It is a sharper image, but the memory of the butterfly is unchanged, and continues to move me.
