First Tiger Swallowtail Of Spring


April 2, 2025

Yesterday afternoon and the first Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio gloucus) of spring, checking Daffodils (Narcissus) for pollen.

No adult Tiger Swallowtails live through the winter. These Swallowtails spend the winter as chrysalises and will emerge as adults beginning right about now.

Looking forward to seeing many more as spring turns to summer.
