A lovely surprise #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

@elfndragon.bsky.social I have checked all the pawpaws for cats and I can say that I found none. I am hoping that maybe on the higher up branches there might be some. 🤞🏼 I only saw that one Zebra this summer. Was probably a male… 🙁 #zebraswallowtail

Oh, and the zebra swallowtail pids are also doing well, though OMFG they are so smol (compared to the monarchs and the BSTs. One of their parents egg bombed my paw paw tree saplings on the front porch, the beautiful, rotten, stinker. 🤣💚 #zebraswallowtail #becurious #getoutside #natureiscool

Zebra Swallowtail, and one of those few photos that I only minimally touched up in post-processing.

I just love how it turned out!

Grafted pawpaws in sterile patches. In theory, these will bear fruit in a few years which will help them grow and spread. There’s a mix of cultivars and wild stock from the vicinity #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

A black-and-white striped butterfly, likely a zebra swallowtail, is perched on a vibrant red carnation flower. The butterfly’s delicate wings are slightly tattered at the edges. The background is softly blurred, filled with more red carnations and green stems, creating a dreamy and colorful garden scene.

We saw this thirsty fella getting his fill in our garden yesterday. At first we thought he couldn’t fly because his wings are tattered but he proved us wrong 🖤

The photo displays the intricate coloring of a Zebra Swallowtail butterfly. Wings are spread horizontally with the head end pointing toward the bottom. White on black stripes extend radially out from the center to the edges of the wings. Resembling somewhat of Batman’s Bat Signal light, the red tail dots burn from the top center toward the viewer like the piercing eyes of a moth man cryptid.

The bird flipped it over, ate the bug, and left the art. With wings spread, maybe there wasn't any room on the killer's trophy wall?

I think this is the first time I've ever seen a #ZebraSwallowtail and it's magnificent! Also seeing a lot of these Common Whitetail #dragonflies plus a huge Chicken of the Woods #mushroom

A great spangled fritillary, a butterfly I see all the time, has landed on a hummingbird feeder, something I rarely see. These butterflies are large, rusty orange with black markings. The undersides of the wings have prominent silvery white spots on a dark brown background.

A zebra swallowtail which I rarely see sits on some clover which I see all the time. Its wings have black, zebra-like stripes on a whitish background. A red spots appears near the lower part of the body.

The Friday Digital Archive Dive is fluttering by with two #butterflies, a usual sighting in an unusual place and an unusual sighting in a usual place.

We bid adieu and bon chance to our little #zebraswallowtail #butterfly today. It was the first day since it eclosed that it wasn't really cold and windy, so I sat the little enclosure outside in the sun and after an hour or so, i checked on it and it had flown. Hope it finds a paw paw patch!

This butterfly is a result of a stray that came from somewhere close to Greensburg that landed in Greenfield.

It’s happening! This is a very, very rare butterfly in Pittsburgh thank you @laughingmantis.bsky.social #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

A big thank you to all who came to my fireside last night. There was no fire due to rain but I told the story inside #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration

Hey Butterflies! Come sit by a fire, have some beer and hear the story of the zebra swallowtail & its history in Pgh and beyond 1130 S Braddock Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15218 #PittsburghPawpawPathways #ZebraSwallowtailTrails #zebraswallowtail #pawpaw #asimina #pittsburgh #activerestoration #ukelele

Ai isn’t all bad. I was at a function where I googled some people that I met and decided to google myself. Here’s an AI result. #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!

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
