I agree project noah is great i dont know anything about animals but i learn new things everyday, thanks to the spotters that help us with all the info

Incidentally, the Palamedes is much less common than the black swallowtail so you have a great spot here!

I do love this site. I've learned a lot because of it. Thank you so much!

You are welcome Amy! I learn so much off other spotters - I guess that's one of the main purposes of Project Noah!

Actually a palamedes swallowtail - they are very similar but the black swallowtail doesn't have the extra 3 spots at the top of the wing!
