The Giant Swallowtail was actually the first butterfly I saw at my house today. I was sitting under my cherry tree pulling up weeds and looking for more Red-Spotted Purple cats (no luck there). I didn't want to jump up and scare it so I tried to get its picture but it didn't turn out well. Luckily, it came back later and proceeded to hit nearly every flower in front of my house. It seemed to prefer the pentas. Oh, and the Polydamas actually got off the porterweed long enough to have some anise hyssop! The Giant ST also hit the hyssop, Stoke's Aster, porterweed, and sage. My Tampa Vervain is starting to come back so that should help as well. Like I don't have enough butterflies, right?
