Description
I have been raising Eastern Black Swallowtails for a few years now and was able to capture this female soon after eclosing. The chrysalis behind the empty one eclosed shortly after. It really is a thrill to watch the entire process of tiny caterpillars growing into large ones then going into chrysalis and then eclosing into gorgeous butterflies! Photo taken in my yard in Providence Forge, Virginia.
