Old Faithful

These Polydamas Swallowtails are becoming semi-regular around here lately.  I saw at least two at the same time flying around.  One of them (in the pictures below (was trying all day to unload some eggs).  I even saw her after dusk and she was just hanging on the Pipevine with tons of eggs still trying to be released.  Actually I think that’s not good news.  I’m wondering if those eggs have somehow become stuck on here.  If she’s around tomorrow and I can catch her, I’ll probably do so in that I can hopefully help her release some of those eggs.  Right now she look awful constipated or whatever they call it when you have a ton of eggs in your belly and they won’t come out.
