You'll see a black dot smack in the middle of the red on a Black swallowtail's hind wing on the its topside. The boys have a lot of yellow on all wings too. Spicebush SW
just have dull orangeish spots w/o the black dots.
Please somebody enlighten us about the black phases of yellow Tiger Swallowtails- I'm lost with that one.
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
