The swallowtail family is so much larger in numbers than I realized until recently. Alaska has Canadian Tiger Swallowtails and Old World Swallowtails so I'll be on the look out for them.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-84835064929728381492012-08-18T07:13:03.754-04:002012-08-18T07:13:03.754-04:00Thank you Vickie, just wonderful series of images....Thank you Vickie, just wonderful series of images. I had just posted the largest North American Butterfly image on my blog and FB the other day. Someone that saw my image, let me know that they had discovered the Appalachian and that it was now the largest. The one that I photographed had a marvelous beige,, tan and brown colouration. <br />I so hope you enjoy your journey to Alaska. I hear it is a great adventure.

I only just discovered the Appalachian swallow tail while I was reading my Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America and then I found the link to the great pics showing the difference in color and size. Spectacular butterflies!

I was looking it up and discovered for the first time about the Appalachian Swallowtail. At the site I was looking I couldn't tell the difference. So I wondered what I had.<br />But now I see it was an Eastern. Still very beautiful. It would have been nice to find the "new discovery" though.<br />Those were really good pictures and descriptions. I'm sure I could tell which is which now. <br />Thank you for posting this. I always enjoy your blog.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022080428503615168noreply@blogger.com
