That duranta purple sky flower bush really attracts all kinds of butterflies in my yard. I have two good sized ones and recently bought a couple more in gallon pots. They have proved to be excellent nectar sources!

That butterfly looks like a polydamas swallowtail. I really can't tell because it's a bit dark...but here's a dorsal photo of one on my duranta from last week. It shows the red spots on the undersides of the wings.

It's been really hard to get a good photo of the topside of it's wings...they don't stay put!
