Quite possible. They are overwintering successfully now (in Salem). An image would have been helpful.
I ordered some Pachysphinx eggs for you. They should be in lab. Only 6 eggs....
We are on Long Island beating for Catocala caterpillars--picked up all three target species: badia, herodias, and jair. Good ones.
I can use any Catocala that you can find on Carya, now through middle of month, cheers

Subject: Pipevine Swallowtail
Saw a butterfly that I was almost sure was a Pipevine Swallowtail, nectaring on Beautybush (Kolkwitzia amabilis) for 10+ minutes this afternoon. It never stopped flapping its wings so I couldn't be sure of the identification (is this typical for Pipevine Swallowtails...?), and I had no butterfly net to catch it with. Seemed to have no interest in Dutchman's Pipe vine (Aristolochia macrophylla)....maybe was a male.
