Tiger on Bottle Brush Buckeye

I wish bottle brush buckeye bloomed more than just once a year, since it's so popular with butterflies. This tiger swallowtail really worked the flowers for a long time around noon today -

While I was taking his picture, I saw the first palamedes swallowtail I've seen since early spring. It flew by fast, but I was able to see it well enough to be sure of its identity. Egg-laying females don't fly fast, so, unfortunately, I don't expect to find any eggs or caterpillars from it, but, hopefully, it'll find a mate, and then I'll find some!
