| The black and white one is a Zebra Swallowtail and the yellow one is a Tiger Swallowtail. Beautiful photos. I've never seen a Zebra in person, how fortunate for you! |

| Seriously Paula, you are a butterfly magnet! Zebra Swallowtails are rare, even on the Butterfly forum. And you have Buckeye cats. Congrats! What state do you live in? |

| The Zebras are the main reason why I wanted to try growing Paw Paw from seed last fall. I have three baby trees growing in gallon size pots and will remain in them for the next year or two until they are big enough to go into the ground without my boyfriend running them over with the mower. They are the food source for the Zebra Swallowtail's caterpillars. Also, I'm curious as to what the fruit tastes like. Karen |

| I live in Indiana but close to Illnois. I love the butterflies. I do have to admit I do a have a wide variety in my garden. I also have the hummingbird moth not really a butterfly but unique just the same. Paula |
