Butterfly chase

These two swallowtail butterflies chased each other for over 4 minutes. I had to shorten the video to get it to upload. I’m not sure if this was some sort of mating ritual, but the larger swallowtail was not interested and completely ignored the little one flitting around. A humming bird even zoomed through and stopped for a quick selfie.
