Swallowtails really really love my rhododendrons. I counted about a dozen of them working four plants at one a few weeks ago.
I expect some monarchs soon, I see a couple eggs on some milkweeds. The black and blue butterflies I'm looking forward to this year, some of them are very cobalt.

Ya they fast and super light. Much lighter than the fritillaries I normally have all over the yard. The difference must be in microns but you can feel it when they land on your hand or shirt
Butterflies love white tshirts btw. If you're not a sweaty person the will often land and on white fabrics to rest
