    The migration...
    Swallowtail larva in transit This caterpillar (larva) was moving to find a suitable location to enter the chrysalis stage. I located where it setup shop so I will be tracking it as it goes through he rest of its lifecycle. Hopefully I will be able to capture it at each phase.

The Giant swallowtail

The giant swallowtail is the largest butterfly in North America. It is abundant through many parts of eastern North America; populations from western North America and down into Panama are now considered to belong to a different species, "Papilio rumiko".
