Papilio polyxenes

Observation date: August 09, 2021
Submitted by: adamschaffer
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Feeding on my new plants, I thought I'd planted groundsel, but perhaps it was golden alexanders. Seemed to vastly prefer these to my small pot of dill and parsley I'd offered to them. The cats pretty much ate my new plants to the ground.
