Busy Bee

This guy was pretty busy and wouldn't stay very still for a good picture. I didn't want to bother him too much so I let him go on his way.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Papilio glaucus, the tiger swallowtail, is a large butterfly found in North America. It is easily identified by its bright yellow wings with black markings, which resemble the stripes of a tiger. The yellow tiger swallowtail is a pollinator, and its long, thin tongue allows it to sip nectar from flowers. This butterfly is an important part of the ecosystem, and its presence is a sign of a healthy environment.

The Valley of Fire

Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada. It derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.
