Pipevine Swallowtail or Blue Swallowtail (Battus philenor)

Pipevine Swallowtail or Blue Swallowtail (Battus philenor)
Collage of the rest of the windblown attempts in a NOTE at Top Right

Well...... they finally appeared today... only 3 mths late ! There had been a couple two months ago.. but that was it. Today an Oklahoma Clipper of a breeze was blowing so it was nie on impossible to get pics. This is the best of a bad bunch. Hoping for better if they stick around for a few days. The Monarchs are still feeding well...so.... with luck....

Thanks for the corrected Swallowtail species Monica !

Nice capture! I almost caught one with my camera today in the back yard, but he was too fast and flew away before I could get close enough to him.
