Eastern Black Swallowtail 2025

The past couple years, sitings of Eastern Black Swallowtails at the Butterly Dunes has have been limited. This year, I put out several Bronze Fennel plants and finally saw a female taking interest. She laid two different batches of eggs. I noticed the lizards were devouring all the 1st instar caterpillars, so I raised and released 10 butterflies, from egg to butterfly in captivity.
