Polydamas butterflies lay a cluster of eggs on
Pipevine. The caterpillars stay
together in a group while they grow up.
This Polydamas Swallowtail photo is one of my favorites.
When they nectar, they MOVE, so it is extremely hard to get a clear
picture.
Doesn't it look like the butterfly is dancing on top of the
flower?
It's hard to find their chrysalides unless you raise them in containers;
they look like leaves. I don't like to raise them because they stink (I
think because the vine smells bad when they chew it).
