Post-Chase - _TNY_0862 - a photo on Flickriver

            Today, I was visiting the Haga Ocean butterfly house (again) and had a really good time chatting with visitors about all the cool butterflies there.

When I discovered this one climbing out of the undergrowth, I got really excited though. I got it out of there and it took off and began flying back and forth - with me and the camera on its tripod running (ok, walking) after it.

Eventually it landed in a somewhat awkward spot, but I managed to cram the camera into a position where I was able to get a couple of shots I liked.

This is one of the swordtails, a species called the cream-striped swordtail (Graphium porthaon), but also called the coastal swordtail and dark swordtail, which in the wild is found in tropical western Africa.
