Swallowtail

Our Buddleia used to be so full of bees and butterflies at this time of year that it sounded like an engine-room. Not any more. We've had a handful of butterflies this year and precious few bees.

This swallowtail was a very welcome visitor.

Wow, beautiful shot, John! I rarely see any butterflies. Guess I need to plant some flowers that attract them.
