Lilium superbum with Pipevine Swallowtail

I found a large group of Turk's Cap lilies growing near large populations of Aristolochia and the rather predictable result was a mob of pipevine swallowtails nectaring on the lilies.

 

Many of the pipevine swallowtails were coated with pollen from the lilies. This one thankfully had just a light dusting.
