This is a Tiger Swallowtail, Dark phase, on a mini-Petunia. All Dark phase Tiger Swallowtails are females.

Early part Lori, or maybe middle. My yard gets full of them when the tall phlox blooms and that won't be until mid to end of July. I saw my first one in the very beginning of May. There's usually 2 broods per year.

Is this the early part of their lives or a later part? I would have thought it was a different kind of butterfly altogether...lol. Again...another lovely tidbit of info. Thanks.
