I've been amazed looking at your photos. They are all beautiful. But my attention was caught by some butterflies that I have never seen where I live. They are the Black swallowtail (it is beautiful !!!!!!!) the Zebra swallowtail, the Red Banded Hairstread and the Queen butterfly !! You really have a lot of beauties in your gardens !
We have a butterfly here somewhat similar to your swallowtails. It is Papilio thoas. I don't know the English common name. We call it "mariposa del naranjo", it is something like "the orange tree butterfly", because the orange tree is the host plant .
