These guys don't come to butterfly brew...pretty much only the brushfoots like admirals, question marks, hackberrys, bluewings, crackers, ladys etc. However, the Giant Swallowtail and Ornythion Swallowtails are known to puddle together where water has leeched minerals to the surface :o)

Don't worry...so long as you have citrus trees or rue plants they'll show up and leave little golden presents on the top of the leaves. Then caterpillars will hatch and they'll start to resemble bird poo...what a great camouflage!!!
