China has a lot more species of butterflies than the United States. Do you know what tree it is nectaring on?

The trees they are nectaring on are Viburnum -- possibly V. awabuki. or V. odoratissimum, and Oleander.

I think the butterfly is a Graphium sarpedon. They are found in Asia through Australia.

I cannot I'd these. I would need a close up picture of the leaves, flowers, and bark. The US does have some Chinese Viburnums.
