This Spicebush Swallowtail is another treat I got at the Jessamine vine

Cynophobia ( /ˌsaɪnəˈfoʊbiə/; from the Greek: κύων kýōn "dog" and φόβος phóbos "fear") is the fear of dogs.

I often take the dog out back so he can, in the search for lizard’s, wreak havoc with the flower beds. Base for the little guys seems to be in a very large bird of paradise plant that has some kind of flowering vine that covers it each year in search for the sky. This Green Anole is 6 feet up that vine, the background is the house. Sometimes I think they toy with the dog (or maybe it is just the dog) , they will run fast for 10 inches and freeze, he bolts out 3 feet past them in a frenzy. Then he stops, whips his head around in wonderment as to how they disappear like that.

Thanks Lacey for the ID

Of my butterfly pictures the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail I believe is the largest of the butterflies. Several types of swallowtail and some Sulphur Butterflies seem to most enjoy the Carolina Jessamine
