There are pawpaws growing on the Great Allegheny Passage in Buena Vista. A few years ago I added a couple trees to increase their chances of fruiting. Many patches seldom fruit #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

Some zebra swallowtails that I raised last year. This would have been impossible without @drlaughingmantis.bsky.social who saw what I thought was impossible in his backyard #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

Before the long winter started, I hiked by Point Marion, a place where pawpaws are plentiful and the zebra swallowtail still flies #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

I believe that in one or more of the unclaimed green spaces in the map that pawpaws grow. I intend to find them. It’s those super steep spaces that keep our remnant pawpaws. #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

Here’s a few butterflies and a moth. Habitat restoration is the way to go but sometimes hand rearing can give them a boost #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration
Pipevine swallowtail Battus philenor, hand reared release Zebra swallowtail Eurytides marcellus hand reared Eastern tiger swallowtail Papilio glaucus, in the wild, maybe on the Monongahela River Hyalophora cecropia, hand reared

Today I decided to post things from a specific area. This is around Monroeville on a secret trail. There are pawpaws here that appear to be wild

I wrote an article that is a valentine to NYC because I am writing a book about my work in Pittsburgh. Any ideas of publishers in the NYC area? #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

I love this view of the zebra swallowtail because it shows its spoilers. Butterfly wings are not 2 dimensional!

It’s happening! This is a very, very rare butterfly in Pittsburgh thank you @laughingmantis.bsky.social #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration
This butterfly is a result of a stray that came from somewhere close to Greensburg that landed in Greenfield.

After 87 years, zebra swallowtail butterflies return to Pittsburgh thanks to pawpaws
Although its host plant is native to Pittsburgh, no sightings of zebra swallowtail butterflies had been reported in 87 years. Until now.

A few highlights from yesterday. I wanted to see how the pawpaws that Oakmont got from me were doing. It’s been 11 months since they were planted. #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration
Tacquería El Mariachi is very good! Pittsburgh is finally getting better Mexican food! There are a bunch of clean brick piles there. I need to look into the history Here’s one of my trees! It’s still just a whip but soon it will soar! Plum Creek

The Monongahela a bit upstream of Pittsburgh. This is absolutely amazing! If you have a boat that you paddle, come here! #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration
Monongahela River where the zebra swallowtail definitely flies. The river is lovely here I have seen 4 beavers on the Monongahela, 1 in Pittsburgh proper, one by Homestead and 4 very close to where I found this piece of handiwork A railroad bridge next to Friendship Hill A long dismantled lock.
