Another Ca Pipevine Swallowtail eclosed today!
Such a delight that she lingered and nectared before taking flight! There are around 20 chrysalis remaining

My CA Pipevine is coming out of dormancy, and flowering!
I love the unusual flowers, and soon I’ll have CA Pipevine Swallowtail butterflies, then caterpillars

There’s a huge patch of #CAPipevine teeming with thousands of #pipevine #swallowtails caterpillars on the @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social campus - which will be destroyed due to a construction project

Folks are leading an effort to rescue #caterpillars and #chrysalises

2/ #UCBerkeley apparently is using an old CEQA environmental report which makes no mention of this endangered host plant and its butterfly species, which have co-evolved for millions of years

If you have #CApipevine in the #SFEastBay and can host some caterpillars, let me know!

For some species, they’ve evolved together with a plant/flowers
