Although these images are al of the same type of butterfly/catapiller they are not necessarily the same butterfly. We "raised" over a dozen of these butterflies. That is why the dates do not always make sense.

I'm going to suggest unlinking them
as the dates are otherwise misleading. Are there any that you can say for sure are the same butterfly - did one of the adults come out of the empty chrysalis, for example?

These are definitely early instar Black Swallowtails. See guide for more info on this species.
