Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
Papilio glaucus

Observation date: April 21, 2024
Submitted by: Hlewis1993
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: He voluntarily climbed up my arm and stayed there for several minutes. I thought he was hurt because he wouldn’t fly away, so I took him in my husband’s truck as we were about to head to get a container and try to rehabilitate him, but he must’ve warmed up in the truck and began to fly. We let him free. Great memory!
