Speaking of that, David, are you referring to Dutchman's Pipevine like the tropical species? They usually kill Pipevine Swallowtail cats which is why I'm asking. We have to be super careful down here in Florida because we get both the Polydamas and Pipevine. The Polydamas can handle the tropical species, but the Pipevine can't. I use Aristolochia tomentosa (Wooly Pipevine) to feed both kinds. At MOSI, we had some success with A. triloba (or A. trilobata, not sure if they're the same or not) and A. fimbriata not killing the Pipevine Swallowtail cats.
