This morning Mike and Faith were doing some chores outdoors around the "farm" and came across this injured butterfly.
Faith brought it indoors to show off and is now planning where it will sleep tonight. Oh Boy!
After some research we believe it is a papilio polyxenes fabricius or common name Black Swallowtail.
I love when those "homeschool moments" just happen!
ReplyDeletei love this time of year with all of the critters emerging and emerging! Good luck with the butterfly.
