Pipevine Swallowtail ovipositing
Description:
This female Pipevine Swallowtail came into my yard and made some efforts to oviposit on my Virginia Snakeroot (Aristolochia serpentaria). This was on May 25. I could only find one egg among the several plants on which it stopped (not this one) and the caterpillar did not emerge until June 1--see adjacent photo.Pcca20080525-1881a
