Added to Animals with Warning Colors mission. The Red spotted purple & other species such as the Spicebush swallowtail & the black morph of the Eastern tiger swallowtail mimic the poisonous Pipevine swallowtail.
Thank you Ivan & Ismael!
My jaw literally dropped... that blue color is an uncommon beauty! Amazing spotting Karen. :)
