I think it was last summer Medit-Plants had a brief discussion of the
Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly (Battus philenor). At the time, I had
seen caterpillars on my Pipevine (Aristolochia californica), but had
not seen the butterfly. Well ... last week we saw a new (to us)
butterfly in our backyard. It looks like the Pipevine Swallowtail as in
Powell and Hogue's California Insects. I was wondering if anyone on
this list is familiar with the butterfly and can confirm the
identification?
