Shocked to see a Pipevine Swallowtail in November, easily the latest that I have seen a Swallowtail.
He’s a beauty. Enjoying Black & Blue Salvia today.
See ALT for my latest in the year sighting of a Swallowtail for each year.

Took a few day break from posting butterfly photos due to watching the amazing election results.
Thank you, America. You give me hope that good sense and decency can still prevail.
With that, a beautiful blue wave from the Pipevine Swallowtail.

I go outside, I see a quintessential LBB (Little brown bird) and I feel like I got a holofoil in a pack of cards. Strongly recommended- hell it doesn't have to be bird watching, any scavenger hunt thang that gets you outside bro. Go find a bug, outside slaps. Pick up a rock dude who cares

Meet the sweetbush (Bebbia juncea), also known as "chuckwalla's delight"
This native shrub produces highly aromatic, golden blossoms, a magnet for butterfly pollinators like the Queen and Pipevine Swallowtail.
Meanwhile, common chuckwallas eagerly feast on flowers.

windows next year along with nectar sources. And I have milkweed and swamp milkweed, spicebush, pipevine and a few other butterfly hosts here but these are along the windbreaks and not near the house. So I'm thinking about what types of butterflies I'd enjoy seeing from the windows next year.

I'm not an expert, but, uh, that sure looks like a pipevine swallowtail butterfly, not a moth...

"Pipevine Swallowtail"
I saw a number of these beauties in mid-April in Port Aransas, Texas. I was at Leonabelle to bird watch, but could hardly turn my back on these stunning butterflies!

A pretty Pipevine Swallowtail on pink zinnias. I love the pink flower reflection in her compound eye. 🩷

oh hell yeah! i think your pipevine posting has driven home that, ideally, plants should be supporting insects and critters. So, having a criteria past just "mostly native and maybe some non-invasive" and going further to make a bit of a foundation for an ecosystem seems like a nice goal

Heres a real blue butterfly for you. This is in my garden. It’s a California pipevine swallowtail, and very rare. It’s feeding on a valerian flower.
