Small Tiger!!!

[John Himmelman]

I went out in my yard this morning and found this!!! Not only is April 1 an early date for a Tiger Swallowtail, but I've never seen one so small! Sometimes when the food source of the last instar disappears and forces it to pupate early, it produces a smaller adult, but this just blew me away!
