It is feeding in wild phlox.
It's host plant is the Dutchman's Pipe vine.
There are ten different species of Swallowtails that are in my area.
I hope to attract all of them.

Amazing shot of the Pipevine Swallowtail! WOW
Hi Ron,
I am very, very, pleased with these photos!
If my new planting work their magic I should have lots of Swallowtails, maybe even all ten different varieties that are in my area will find my host plants and my nectars!
I hope so. I will keep it up too. Bush by bush and plant by plant.
I ask myself when I see a pretty flower, "Are you good for the butterflies?"

Dear Sprite,
I have the Dutchman's Pipevine, the host plant for the Pipevine.
Now I need a trellis to grow it on as it gets very big. I have an idea of where such a vine and trellis would look good. My husband could build one but he is working so many hours that I do not want to ask. I can go buy one I think.
They are beautiful!!
Sherry
