I have seen a lot of Zebra Swallowtails here - I rarely saw them at our old house. We have a butterfly bush & they’ve been on that & I have also seen them on my zinnias.

I’ve had the Eastern Tiger (Yellow) Swallowtails, only one Black that I’ve seen, a few adult Monarchs, but LOTS of the smaller Aphrodite Fritillary butterflies. Orange and brown.

And we’re never short of those destructive Cabbage Whites! They’re the ones that lay eggs to form the green worms in some of the cruciferous veggies.
