"Butterflies are self propelled flowers."

Robert A. Heinlein

The Oregon Swallowtail is the state insect of Oregon. As Wikipedia shares..."It is a subspecies of swallowtail butterfly native to the United States of America, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and south-central British Columbia in Canada.

In 1976, it became one of the first four butterflies that the United States Postal Service placed on a U.S. stamp.

It reproduces twice a year, and can be seen flying from April to September. The butterflies seen toward the beginning of the year are lighter in color than those seen later and blend well with the color of early plants."
