GMG Reader DB shared that she had spotted a Giant Swallowtail recently in her garden. Well, it was back again drinking nectar in her zinnia patch! She only had cell phone on hand and kindly submits these two snapshots. Thank you DB!!
Here’s a handy chart I found online to help readers identify Swallowtails visiting your garden.
