I saw a swallowtail over by the plumbagos and thought at first it was a Polydamas. As I got closer I saw tails, so I ruled that out. I think this is a Spicebush! I generally only see them in the woods, but I did plant their host plant. They also use bay trees which are pretty common around here and camphor trees which unfortunately (they're invasive) are also common. I'm going to have to go check out more of the trees in the neighborhood.
