soft folds of Purple - gentle shades - there is nothing like the richness of Purple ~ * 6 PiP * © All Rights Reserved

- Petunias of Purple have a wonderful aroma - maybe all Petunias do - but, since we don't have any but Purple - shall remain with my thoughts about Purple - must be why Clearwing Moths are attracted - flying quickly from one delectable feast to another - Clearwing Moths (if you have photographed them) - do not pose - not as bad as the Pipevine Swallowtail - but fast flyers none the less - one shot with no flower in it - that is the stare-down - he was overhead - the human just aimed in his direction - many photos are just being in the right place - at the right time - at least that is my story © All Rights Reserved

Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) - All of a sudden -- woosh -- it flew in - Pam J says it is the one that flew over her Pines the other day - Maybe she is headed back there - ** 4 PiP on left side ** © All Rights Reserved

From Jeff Pippen - www.jeffpippen.com/naturephotos/hemaris-diffinis.htm If it can't be found in Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America , this site by Jeff is the one I go to. He has North Carolina-found species of many, many things that are in gardens/fields/woods. This is why one has nice neighbors .. they plant butterfly-attracting goodies for things that fly and photogs who live next door.
