Orchard Swallowtail Butterfly (Female) Flying Slo-mo

Orchard Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio aegeus)
This Orchard Swallowtail female is feeding on nectar of balsam (Impatiens walleriana) flowers. The larvae of these butterflies like to feed on citrus leaves.
The female Orchard Swallowtail has a wingspan of 140mm and the male 120mm. The male butterfly is darker than the female. (see • Orchard Swallowtail Bu... for my video of a male Orchard Swallowtail butterfly.)

How wonderful! Slowed down time makes them even more butterflies 🤩👋

[@HikeToWildlife]

Beautiful butterfly 🦋 Thanks for the slow motion 👍

[@MoreliaAustralia]

These butterflies often zip around the place quite fast so it's good to slow them down with my iPhone.

[@VixenArt3]

Wonderful! ☺

[@MoreliaAustralia]

Thank you. I hope you see some more butterflies where you are and still do your artwork.

[@VixenArt3]

@@MoreliaAustralia Thank you! I'm planning on finding and filming different species this year and not just cabbage whites 😊. I've also been working on some butterfly animations, I will upload some if I'm happy with them! Looking forward to more of your videos

[@MoreliaAustralia]

We've had a lot of cabbage whites in our vegie garden this year.

I like butterflies and dragonflies flying around the garden. My favorite garden buddies. This video is just cool to watch. Thank you for sharing. 🙏☺️🌻

[@MoreliaAustralia]

I like to grow many different plants to attract lots of insects. Our winters here are fairly warm so we have lots of wildlife all year round.

Such a beautiful butterfly, you capture it real close and very detail, high quality video.

These butterflies are fast fliers so it is difficult to get close to them.

Do you see the Orchard Swallowtail in WA ?

[@wildhomevideos]

@@MoreliaAustralia Sorry for the late reply. Flat out this time of yearl. Theoretically there are no Orchard Swallowrtails in WA, but some time ago I filmed a large butterfly flying around our citrus trees which looked suspiciously like one. But I am no expert like you. Was hoping to incorporate that footage in a video one day. But you know, making videos is fun but it is way down on our priority list so it may never happen. I will see if I can post a photo of that butterfly on our community page when I get some spare time. I will let you know when I do.

[@MoreliaAustralia]

Thanks. That would be good to see a video or a photo of your butterfly one day. I know how you feel about trying to fit more into each day and running out of time.

[@bfoz]

Congratulations dear friend for this video, plea for nature.
Nature has the power of regeneration, only man must be careful with its conservation.
Great video, thanks!

[@MoreliaAustralia]

We grow a lot of citrus trees which are the food for the caterpillars of these butterflies.

You have THE eye for filming, superb this video. I see a lot of butterflies, often one is with me, a white one mostly. It is my mother saying hello to me. But it is a lot smaller than your beauty! Nature paradise in Australia. Thank you for sharing 🙏🦋🧡

[@MoreliaAustralia]

It's good when we have good memories of our parents. I think people's lives are like butterflies too. Different shapes and sizes, fragile and life is short at best but I want to appreciate more the beautiful colours and patterns in people who are a good example to me.

[@Artingo]

wonderful 😍👌👍

Thank you. How's things along the river and in your area this time of the year? I hope you are keeping well.

[@zoewatson]

@@MoreliaAustralia Echuca has recovered after the terrible floods of late last year. All the tracks are open again which is great for bird watching. Many birds are around now that the weather has cooled down. Thank you for asking.

[@MoreliaAustralia]

That's good things are getting back to normal. When the inland rivers flood they often stay up for a long time. The rivers on the coast here where I am come up fast and catch a lot of people by surprise but they don't stay up for long.

[@corvusaeternus]

Wow that`s a big one! Beautiful butterfly! We only have small ones here in Germany but I rarely see any butterflies anymore... 😞

[@MoreliaAustralia]

I hope you see more butterflies when the weather warms up.

[@corvusaeternus]

@@MoreliaAustralia We`ve pretty bad butterfly decline here in Germany. I read half of our butterflies are on the read list some butterfly species here are already extinct. I remember when I was a child I saw so many butterflies but nowadays rarely see any ever.
