We Released a Swallowtail Butterfly! A Story in Photos!

in #storyinphotos5 years ago


We raised this butterfly from egg to what you see here!


The butterfly had no problem hanging out on my daughter's hand.


*Posing for the camera. "Cheese!"


We were trying to figure out what happened to the "swallowtails" on her wings, they were missing!

Beautiful - this looks like a spicebush swallowtail - they do not all have the long 'tails' - there are many types and their tails are long or short. Maybe it is just like a birth defect for her - no tail but still gorgeous.
