Up here north of Sacramento we get the Western tiger swallowtails (like the zebra swallowtails but bright yellow) and the Pipelines - part of me wishes I was in the SoCal desert because they get the really really BIG swallowtails!
You follo @butterflyguy99.bsky.social ? Great account
I love the big ones, very rare here but have seen them. The blue ones come a little more often. We are in drought so not sure what I will see this year.

Out here I've been seeing the Pipevine Swallowtail? The one that was revived from extinction by a single man?
All over the place this year!
