I’m working on restoring the zebra swallowtail back to Pittsburgh and beyond. That means lots of pawpaw, Asimina triloba for Eurytides marcellus, hike, canoe, industrial history

Battus philenor, pipevine swallowtail climbs up, then flies. I’m not sure if this is a pattern but several showed this specific behavior while other species seem to just take off where they are. When I release insects I try to move them to a more natural setting before they are eager to go.
