Needed something serene this morning to counter the hate, racism, misogyny and outright ignorant stupidity that has seized this country.
A nice Pipevine Swallowtail nectaring on Pickerelweed.

Whispers of Spring
Charlie and I just returned from our walk—not just any walk, but the farthest I’ve gone in over a decade. We ventured to a spot I used to visit several times a week, back when I ran the distance instead of walked. Along the way, I spotted a butterfly and initially thought it was a Red-spotted Admiral. Curious to confirm, I turned to Microsoft Copilot, which identified it as a Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) resting on a Heal-all (Prunella vulgaris).

Didn't do too well with birds at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, yesterday, but the insect clade, especially Lepidoptera, was representing... Here are a few pics of some Pipevine Swallowtails, the first two doing some aerial courting...
Pipevines have a wide but scattered distribution from southern Ontario down through Central America. They are named for their larval preference for Pipevine plants (Aristolochia) from which they sequester toxins for defense. Their hindwing is iridescent blue, a warning color to would-be predators.

@iBlame We’ve successfully nurtured the caterpillars but never see the butterfly. I guess we need different flowers, any suggestions for nearly-coastal California?
