This was my first time raising Eastern Black Swallowtails! One day, I decided to plant some parsley and dill in a medium-sized container right out back, just on the side of our deck, next to the steps. A few days later, there they were! We had 6 eggs!
Colorful spots of black, white and orange certainly don’t help this winged-beauty camouflage into the greenery of summertime but that’s what makes it unique. A colorful badass and obviously not afraid to standout, meet the Ailanthus Webworm Moth (Atteva punctella).
