We had a Two-tailed Swallowtail (Papilio multicaudata Kirby) visit the 5kGarden over the past few weeks. It seemed fine with me scurrying to find the camera, slamming doors and coming within a foot to take this photo.

As a matter of fact, most of the insects appear to be content with the food we've provided. I've brushed up against bees, wasps, and hornets, all of which are more drawn to the flowers than me, personally. I wish the mosquitoes felt the same way.
