Here's some photos of a Swallowtail butterfly.  

The photo above was cropped and edited from this next photo.

     I tried and tried to get a shot with the wings extended.  This next one was the best I could do.  Photos can be quite deceiving...butterflies do not hold still for more than a second or two giving very little time to focus and frame the scene so don't think I planned for the wing tip and tail tips to be cut off.
