No, I think it's just that John has a giant hand. So big he can't get it  
into his pants. You can't fool us John!

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!
