Eastern Black Swallowtail Utilizes Milkweed

I guess this Milkweed must really have a lot of nectar in the flowers.  This is an Eastern Black Swallowtail sipping nectar on the Milkweed.  For the past 3 years, the Eastern Black Swallowtail’s have always laid their eggs on our Fennel.  So far this year, we’ve seen a few of the Black Swallowtail, but haven’t really seen any that are laying eggs.
