I was on my way in the door to visit with John when I spied this pretty fellow.
I'm reasonably sure it is a Pipevine Swallowtail. The fun thing was there
was another smaller one trying to chase it away from the flowers, or get romantic,
I'm not sure, but it was so much fun to watch. I've never seen an aggressive butterfly before. This one finally gave up and left.

And for any of you shivering in the cold already, see this: http://www.pbase.com/petesie/image/35563894

I miss our butterflies already. There were a couple cabbage whites puttering about the yard, but...they just don't count. This is a beautiful shot; very similar to the Black Swallowtails we get up here, but I do see the differences.

Nice capture, Petesie. It's a beauty.

So, either guarding the flowers, or getting romantic, huh?! Interesting parallel. ;) LOL :)-
