This week’s field find is a black swallowtail caterpillar (Papilio polyxenes) spotted in our nursery. DYK that black swallowtail caterpillars exclusively feed on the carrot family foliage? One of their primary food sources is often Queen Anne's lace or native golden Alexander! 🦋🌼

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.

I actually got a video of one of the caterpillars eating! I think these sleep during the day and eat at night (or mine do)? Looks like the way I eat Ruffles (one ridge at a time). Also, omg its little leg 😂😭 #blackswallowtail #nativeplants #caterpillar #nativeplants

A Black Swallowtail butterfly with wings open on an orange flower. The wings are mostly black with blue tails and an orange dot on the inside edge of each wing tail. Pale yellow dots line the edges of the wings.
The same Black Swallowtail butterfly from the other picture but with wings halfway closed.
This gorgeous #BlackSwallowtail butterfly visited my garden today! I usually don't see them in my gardens, so I was very excited for this visitor! And he/she let me take pictures!

A Black Swallowtail Butterfly resting on green parsley, a host plant for the Swallowtail. The butterfly is black with yellow dots outlining the wings. The bottom of each wing has an orange circle resembling an eye to mimic an intimidating animal and dissuade predators.
🌱🌿While snipping parsley I found this lovely Black Swallowtail. Not sure if it was newly emerged, or possibly laying eggs. It was a wonderful encounter! #butterfly #parsley #blackswallowtail #nature

Found another two of these fancy f*cks in the garden this evening. I THINK I got them all now; sneakin' thieves. Also have one saddled up and ready to find its chrysalis form, and another two fatties were on walkabout and will be following close behind. #bst #blackswallowtail #becurious
