  1. Eastern Tiger Swallowtail By Zach Marquardt

  2. Species observed: Eastern Tiger SwallowtailDate observed: September 6, 2009Time observed: 3:00-3:30pmLocation observed: My BackyardHabitat: Flowers/Bushes.

  3. 1. Found butterfly (injured) on a bush. It appears to have an injured wing and has trouble flying.Time observed: 3:02-3:07pm

  4. 2. Butterfly has not moved much. Lack of movement probably due to injury. Butterfly is moving, though only by its legs.Time observed: 3:10-3:15

  5. 3. Butterfly has glided down from the bush to the ground. Now the butterfly begins to climb up to a set of flowers.Time observed: 3:18-3:24

  6. 4. Butterfly begins its climb up the flower. Once at the top of the flower the butterfly remains still.Time observed: 3:25-3:28

  7. 5. Butterfly is still in same position. Soon the butterfly moves over to the flowers in the background. Not much activity comes from the butterfly after that. So that is where the butterfly and I part.Time observed: 3:28-3:30

  8. I observed an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly. The butterfly was injured when I found it. I observed its movements. It mainly walked, at one point it glided. The injury it had was to great so it was unable to fly. It was not easy watching that creature struggle, but that is just part of nature. Even though the butterfly was still live when I left it after my observations I found it dead the next day. What amazed me the most was the butterfly’s will to carry on.
