Spring butterflies are starting to appear in SW Florida. This Palmedes Swallowtail (Paplilo palmedes) was seen patrolling the woodline on the Seaboard Grade in the Babcock-Webb WMA in Punta Gorda on March 5, 2013.
The Swamp Bay and Red Bay are it's host plant, but this one was seen basking on Saw Palmetto.
Nicely done- we have awhile before I'll be seeing any of those.
