"Sassacus" meaning "wild man"
Male
Was not actually captive reared at all. His chrysalis was on a leaf outdoors that was falling off so we picked it up. Emerged 7:30 AM 09/19/2020 and was released back to the wild the same day.
He was flapping wings while perched on porter weed with lantana and thumbergia in background. Then flew up high into trees right after photo.
