I know they say the males of the species are more beautiful, but I find the female eastern black swallowtails to be just as stunning!

From summer 2025: A close-up photo of an Eastern Black Swallowtail butterfly with wings fully spread while feeding on a cluster of small pink butterfly bush (Buddleja) flowers. The butterfly’s wings are dark brown-black with pale yellow spots along the edges and iridescent blue markings near the hindwings. The background is softly blurred green and tan.

My second release of the year. I call these butterflies “time travelers” as they overwinter themselves from the previous year, and emerge in spring.

A black swallowtail on a thistle flower. The thistle is to the right in the photo. It has several buds and one open purple flower leaning toward the center that the butterfly is on. There is another thistle to the left with a couple of buds. The swallowtail's body is facing right. It is mostly black with white spots all along its side. The wings are folded up and are also mostly black, but with two rows of white spots on the forewing and two single white spots just above those. The hindwing also has a number of spots. There is a row of orange spots along the outer edge, two white spots just above the tail, a pair of orange spots a little further in, a row of light blue spots, and another row of orange spots next to the blue. The last two rows are curved across the wing.

What a difference one week makes! Here are a few of the swallowtail caterpillars (7) that I have eating, and growing like crazy.

It’s almost time to put them in a larger habitat!

Ohhhh my word. Look at her. I’m so honored by her presence. I hope she notices the pimpernel and lays some eggs on them!

Our first #butterfly eclosure of the year is an #easternblackswallowtail. It over-wintered in its chrysalis in a mesh enclosure in the greenhouse. Free and flying now, I named it #wednesdayaddams .
