Thank you gardengirl! Good to see you this morning. I bet the swallowtail was beautiful. To get it to land on your hand would have been a miracle, wouldn’t it? I will have to look a swallowtail up on the internet to see exactly what it looks like.
Are you looking for a busy Saturday, GG?
It’s the eastern yellow swallowtail, adult female. They’re gorgeous—I looked it up just to make sure. :) She came close to landing on me. Checked me out and hovered just above my skin, but she wouldn’t actually light. She was really beautiful. I got a good look at her colors and markings while she was deciding!
Figured we would be swamped this am but no customers so far. Not too upset—we had a lightening strike right over the store Thurs eve just as we were closing. Fried the credit card machine. They’re going to get us a new one ASAP.
Waiting. Cue crickets.... LOL
