Very interesting.
Yes, those little ones really can get into bugs and flowers and birds. I substitute teach in pre-k a lot. Last year I took some of my clivias and amaryllis in for us to enjoy and showed them how to pollinate. Every time they got in line or walked by the plants, they would very carefully touch and pollinate. They were even cross pollinating the clivia with amaryllis. I left the plants with them and hope I left a love of flowers, butterflies, birds.
Is this a Giant Swallowtail? I looked it up and it looked a little different. I saw one (Ornythion Swallowtail), but I know it is not common in US. I took the picture on island on southern gulf coast. will send another pic.
