Insects are great pollinators of our many wonderful plants. The Giant Swallowtail was doing his job today. He had crawled into the day lily just prior to taking this picture. If you look closely you can see the orange has rubbed off on his wings. The stamens of the flower are very prominent in this photo. The Giant Swallowtail is one of six swallowtails in the midwest and the Giant is the biggest butterfly in North America.
