Hi guys! I've been keeping an eye on my Sweetbay Magnolia trees since they are a host plant for the Tiger Swallowtail. But instead I saw this scary-looking thing the other day. I shook the leaf to get him off, thinking he would drop to the ground, but he flew off! So this thing can fly! Somehow, that makes it scarier. Just wondered if this was something that would eat my caterpillars or what.
