?? Papilio machaon bairdii in Alameda County, CA ??

[The Arthurs]

Hi. I am a recent subscriber. This is probably not what I should be writing about at all, but I'm sending it anyway. I have what appears to be a new county record Papilio machaon bairdii specimen. I found it as a larva with P. zelicaon larvae on Sweet Fennel on Nevil street, Oakland, Alameda County, California, and raised it on domestic fennel in my screen butterfly house. It eclosed on June 9, 2008.   Thanks.   -- Noah Arthur
