Coordinator notes: You did photograph a swallowtail, but not a Black Swallowtail but a Pipevine Swallowtail, an uncommon sighting as compared to the Black Swallowtail for NE Kansas. I believe it would be considered a resident rather than a stray as pipevine does grow naturally in NE Kansas. Great sighting! Thanks, JAMES STEEN
