This first video features a Dogface Sulphur and then a Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.
If you wonder what I'm saying, I was complaining about the butterflies running off when I approach with a camera. "Here she comes! they seem to say .... and they hide."
This vid is a Giant Swallowtail nectaring on Madagascar periwinkle.
They nectar on Tithonia, Lantana and Periwinkles with enthusiasm.
Periwinkles are setting abundant seeds.
Palest pink periwinkles are my favorite, here with a sprig of
Duranta hanging over.
Buffy, blending in.
Flowers and text are from the garden of Nell Jean blogged on Dotty Plants Journal in hot, humid Southwest Georgia.

Love seeing your butterflies! I spotted a Giant Swallowtail in my garden yesterday but I wasn't quick enough with the camera. Hopefully it will stick around. Your garden is looking so nice in August.
