It looks like the Pipevine finally found my place. I saw only one all summer last year.
The last few days there has been 3 or 4 hanging out.

The male is the most annoying b-fly to photograph! It hardly ever sits still and it is always flapping it's wings. Also, the sun must hit it just right for the blue metallic color to really shine. Maybe I'll get a good one before the end of the day. Meanwhile, here's a side view.

Does anyone have a photo of the native GA pipevine? I'm trying to find it in the woods, but I can't find a photo showing the leafs, it's mainly the flower that is shown.
