Spicebush Swallowtail DSC_8910

I just love when these large butterflies visit the yard. Okay, I admit it... I love when any of the butterflies visit. Monarchs are still dominate at this point but others are starting to show up in greater numbers. So far this year I have only been able to collect two spicebush swallowtail eggs to bring in to protective custody, I may have raised and released this one and she found her way back. She left one egg and the caterpillar is munching away on bay tree leaves in protective custody.

 

I hope your day is delightful, happy snapping to all.
