Fun Fact Friday Aug 4, 2023

Today's "Fun Fact Friday" is about one of my favorite Butterflies - the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly, Papilio cresphontes Cramer.

Did you know that adult Giant Swallowtail Butterflies only live for around 6-14 days? I want to be able to enjoy them longer than just 2 weeks! I like watching him slowly drift around the garden, looking for nectar and eventually hosting on my wild lime or other citrus trees.
