Hatched this morning, a P. rutulus adult from a larva I found here at home last season on the weeping willow. We don't get a lot of
Papilios right here next to the ocean, zelicaon is another we see now and then. Right now it's just cabbage whites flying outside.

Well, it's on a spreading board now. Actually kind of a special specimen for me, the larva was on the Salix babylonica right outside my door,
"catch" hardly does the animal justice.
