A visitor

We had a visitor on Sunday - a black swallowtail butterfly. These are common this time of year http://wisconsinbutterflies.org/butterfly/species/3-black-swallowtail

The butterfly is beautiful, and so is your photograph! Are the swallowtails common because you deliberately attract them, or because they are a normal type in your area of Wisconsin?

The swallowtails are common this time of year - they seem to go for blue flowers, probably because of their highly developed fashion sense.
