[Ctleps-l] 8/5 - TWO GIANT SWALLOWTAILS

[Frank Mantlik]

8/5  Stratford yard - In reviewing photos of a Giant Swallowtail that appeared 
twice in our gardens in the morning, I realized that there were actually two 
different ones.  The first one was in pristine condition, stayed for 20-30 
minutes, and nectared only on two Butterfly-bushes (Buddleia).  The second had 
two nicks in its right wings, appeared about an hour later, and nectared on 
Lantana, Butterfly-Weed, and the Buddleias.
Photos of the first one can be seen here:
