I asked my camera...
"Do you miss me.. otherwise, why are you
slow like me?"
I had a #Bay-leaf plant planted in the garden.
I guess the #Butterfly like it..

First one this year!
(Side note: one of the best parts of spring is the arrival of each butterfly. I have a mental list of ~30 species or so that have visited my garden in the past. As each one arrives it's such a happy feeling - like "Ah, yes! There you are!")
Info & narrative in alt-text.
https://lor.sh/@Albatrossity/112198339633828329 Albatrossity@lor.sh - Spring has sprung here in Flyover Country. I saw four species of butterflies today. Here's one, a freshly eclosed Zebra Swallowtail.
They're always one of the first butters out for spring. Another would be the Cabbage White.

It's not all #birds on the #RoadTrip...we've seen some #butterflies too, including this Goatweed Leafwing seen just off the visitor center trail at the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site near Cheyenne, Oklahoma.

Getting used to being out of the chrysalis, this Giant decides to just sit and be simply adorable.
GORGEOUS Giant Swallowtail! And yeah--they'll pupate in weird places just like all the other butterflies out there.

First butterfly of the year!And omg what a wild story. I found this swallowtail IN MY HOUSE!
So here's what I think happened. We had a freeze last month & I brought both of my calamondins inside to protect them. Citrus are hosts plants for Giant Swallowtails.
I'm guessing a chrysalis was accidently knocked off one of the calamondins & it hatched in my house. I found the butterfly in the same spot where the pots were. It was on the floor, unable to fly (which is why I'm guessing newly hatched - the wings were still wet.)
Gently scooped it up & put it outside. It's been resting in the same spot for the last hour. I've seen other newly hatched do exactly the same to dry their wings.
And honestly I have to laugh - I tried ALL LAST YEAR to get a decent Giant Swallowtail photo. Never managed it. Every one was blurry. And this year starts off w one my "holy grail" butterflies right in my own house! 😂

Il y a un papillon en Afrique avec assez de poison dans son corps pour tuer six chats !
