We were at Tilden Botanic Garden recently for a haiku walk. Linda P.
told me that that was a special butterfly and to watch. So I did.
One side of the wings is an iridescent blue, that only shows when the wings are unfolded.

It is called a Pipevine Swallowtail, because it likes the Pipevine plant.
folding, unfolding
heedless of its beauty--
pipevine swallowtail
