"Dainty Swallowtail still laying eggs

By dales
"Taken yesterday after the caterpillar shots I posted from our lemon tree , this Dainty Swallowtail flying amongst our citrus bushes maybe the same one that laid the eggs from which hatched the Caterpillars !
This one seems to be enjoying our backyard with the temp getting around 36deg during the day followed by thunderstorms in the evening.

Thanks for viewing , voting & comments on my previous upload "Lemon tree under siege" along with the UA from Steve(sparrowhawk) , all are appreciated greatly SmileSmile
