Dreaming of Spring (Pipevine Swallowtail on Purple Robe Locust tree)
It was early evening on May 4th, 2023, and I had gone in our front yard to water our flowers. I noticed a couple of pipevine swallowtail butterflies drinking nectar from our purple robe locust tree. They drank from the blooms for at least an hour. It was a beautiful sight!
