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
