Small Tiger!!!

[Lemmon]

John,  you are an amazing observer of nature!!  You always find some marvelous 
lep this time of the year.  Don't be modest, perhaps you have discovered a 
special dwarf species of Tiger Swallowtail new to science.

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!
