Tiger Swallowtails

[jhimmel at comcast.net]

Well, I caught one of those big yellow and black-striped swallowtails with
the hope of figuring out if it was Appalachian or Tiger.  Took some photos
and went online to see if I could find some reference.  I did, and it turns
out it's a bonafide Tiger.

Randy Emmit has some great photos comparing Appalachian and Tiger
Swallowtails.  Go to

I'm going to keep checking, now that I know what to look for.  Tiger
Swallowtails have become more interesting now that they've been "split".
