First sighting of black swallowtail BF this year.
I have plenty of fennel, rue and milkweed in my garden this year but no caterpillars this year. No BFs sightings until 3-4 weeks ago, except one warm March day, I saw a yellow tiger swallowtail in the garden. There was nothing for it to eat here as it was way too early. It must have wintered over.
Don't know why we have had no BFs till recently this year. It has been a very disappointing year.
