I watched this Swallowtail Butterfly for about 5 minutes as it fluttered from flower to flower while being blown around by the wind. It never kept its wings still as it grabbed onto Phlox blossoms and attempted to not be knocked off. I like how the antennae and head are so sharp in this shot while the wings are shaking.

Both thou and the swallowtail did your best. Good for you for nailing the focus, which was probably the best you =could do in the wind with your equipment. It would have been difficult for anyone regardless of equipment.
What a captivating moment you’ve captured! It’s amazing how the swallowtail butterfly’s sharp antennae and head contrast with the fluttering wings. The dynamic shot of it maneuvering through the wind and clinging to the Phlox blossoms really brings the scene to life.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful glimpse of nature!
