Title: Pipevine Swallowtail in Riverdale
Post by: Don Baxter on July 27, 2012, 08:25:19 PM
My neighbour and I have been observing a large black swallowtail with irridescent deep blue hind wing.  She photographed it this morning, and the underside of the hind wing has the single row of large orange spots of a pipevine swallowtail.  How significant is this species in the Toronto area, - since it's range is shown to be considerably farther south?
