WOW!!! What a great photo! I hope you post more.

I know that feeling too - chasing and stalking swallowtails and getting frustrated because they won't stay still for a photo!!!

I really envy the gardeners who have lots of swallowtails in their yards. So far I've only see two at one time...and a stray pipevine swallowtail.

I really need to get better butterfly bushes. I have two light purple, two white and a wild lindeyanna that are blooming...but nary a butterfly on them?!

Will say the few swallowtails I do have around here are on the duranta purple sky flower bushes all day long. Also have gobs of gulf frits, skippers, sulphurs, monarchs and some I haven't been able to identify.
