Spicebush Swallowtail [Filler #51]

Shot 3 frames today of an egg mass on the patio door, http://bugguide.net/node/view/1411475
Not very interesting, so today is — sigh — another filler. They're happening more frequently now…

Confirmed at BAMONA as “Papilio troilus” or “Spicebush Swallowtail”; https://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1139225
