GLASS SWALLOWTAIL

[Tommy D. Shockley]

Dear Lepsters,

I just received the below message regarding a purported "Glass
Swallowtail." Can anyone out there shed any light on this beastie? I've
never heard of such a critter...

Thanks in advance!  Sheri <sheri at butterflywings.com>

I'm writing on behalf of my 7 year old daughter Jordan Shockley.  Jordan
is a second grade student attending Orchard Elementary School in Rio
Linda, CA.  For a homework assignment the teachers gave the students
their choice of insects to study and write about.  Jordan chose the
Glass Swallowtail Butterfly to do her paper on.  Her decision was based
on a picture she had seen.

I have been researching for "Glass Swallowtail Butterflies" on the Inet
but thus far without success.  However, I did find your web site and I
am writing in hope that you can give us some helpful hints that will
lead us to the elusive Glass Swallowtail.

In awaiting your  reply, we remain.

Respectfully yours,

Tom & Jordan Shockley
