I got so sad when I learned that most all of the hosts for Western Tiger Swallowtails were trees, and at that trees that are usually next to rivers here... Because I'm in the city and climate change is just resulting in less and less water being available, I didn't think I'd be able to get any swallowtails. But I did some research and found a native upland-tolerant shrub sized willow, Scouler's willow, that I am going to see if I can get to work in my not very large urban yard. I have seen a swallowtail *once*, just passing through my yard, one time this year. So I think it's possible. 🤞🤞🤞🦋 People with smaller yards may just have to look for shrub sized trees or they can also try coppicing to control a tree's size.

I see them I’m In calaveras county in California

So these are Norma in Minnesota? I have like 3 flying around today 😂

HELP!! I rescued an eastern tiger swallowtail from my cat but the bottom part of its wings are very damaged. I am into my 3rd day of keeping him safe. I tried the sugar soaked paper towels, hibiscus and tibouchina - none of which are on its list of things it is attracted to - can you suggest some local (Port Orange, FL) plants I could search through my neighborhood to try and pinch off? Is it true their life span is 10-14 days? It is very active and can move around somewhat (think he lost one or two of his legs).
