Last year when I took this photo, I thought this was a Pipevine Swallowtail with its tails bitten off. Today, I was just taking pictures of another Pipevine Swallowtail in perfect health and noticed white spots on the upper wing with the blue coloring. The pic from last year doesn't seem to have any. Is this pic from last year of a Pipevine Swallowtail or something else that I should be watching for this year?

That looks like a Pipevine ST that has had a hard life or is very old. The females have the white spots on the forewings. |
