Much to my surprise, Black Swallowtail visited my garden today. This one was flapping around madly not quite landing on various things but kept returning to the lovage, so I staked it out and got a few pics. Couldn't get any closer than this.
Is there something they especially crave, in the parsley family perhaps?
They are fairly uncommon in my woods, years go by without seeing one...
