Our Eastern Black Swallowtail Continued

Our Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly "hatched" at about 12:30p yesterday.   He hung for a couple of hours to allow his wings to dry.  Then he spread his wings out to let me snap these pictures of his vibrant colors. I moved his container outside later in the afternoon and he flew away!








What's up next? We found some tiny Monarch caterpillars on our milkweed yesterday!

  1. Beautiful Butterfly - My suggestion for naming the butterfly - Flutter.
