Hi i found this swallowtail it my butterfly garden at the Trumbull Nature Center 
today.It was an incredibly beautiful creature. larger than a Tiger Swallowtail 
in colors I have never seen.It almost had epilets on its "shoulders". It was 
calm resting  nicely on the blooms,posing for its picture. not at all fluttery 
like the Spicebush. 

I have noticed so many tiger swallowtails at home and in the NC garden and 
because i have spicebushes in both locations have seen many more Spicebush 
Swallowtails than  I ever remember. A  few monarchs,all loners, but today they 
seemed to be more actively laying eggs. Am working on my second batch, tho the 
number of eggs is low compared with past years, Ruthie
