Polydamas Swallowtail - Battus polydamas

Polydamas Swallowtail - Battus polydamas
Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida, USA
April 22, 2007
Size: 90-100 mm wingspan
From a chrysalis that I overwintered in my laundry room - no special conditions, just hanging on a twig. I brought it in from my yard last fall. I got a few shots before it warmed up enough to fly, but unfortunately none of the upperside.
