Roberts Cemetery Savanna NP Greeting Card IMG_1076

A spicebush swallowtail (Papilio troilus) feeds from wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) at Roberts Cemetery Savanna Nature Preserve in Litchfield, Illinois — its deep blue-black wings trimmed with iridescent blue-green scaling, perched atop a lavender bloom in a lush tangle of savanna vegetation glowing in summer green. One of the Midwest’s most elegant butterflies, visiting one of its most beloved native wildflowers.
