I stopped by Reiman Gardens located on the campus of the Iowa State University. The Gardens are a great place to see native plants. They also have a magnificent butterfly exhibit. Most of the butterflies in the exhibit are not native. Much care is taken to make sure they don&#8217;t escape. I photographed this\u00a0Emerald Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio palinurus) while visiting the exhibit. I was impressed by the monochrome tone of the scene.<\/p>\n<p>This species can be found primarily in Southeast Asia, particularly in Burma. One interesting fact is that the iridescent green sheen in not produced by pigments but rather through structural coloration produced by the microstructure of the scales on the wings. They refract the light and give rise to blue and yellow reflections producing the green color.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12721\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12721\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/20170818-reimen-gardens-44-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12721\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/emerald-swallowtail\/emerald-swallowtail-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/20170818-reimen-gardens-44-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
