Yesterday had a Zabulon Skipper at Lighthouse Park butterfly garden, and today had many Zabulons (and Peck's and Tawny Edge) at the Kellogg Center in Derby. Also there saw another dark form (female) of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Then, in our home garden a Giant Swallowtail appeared briefly along with our Monarchs and Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. A few record photos below:
