BLACK SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY…….MY SECOND TO EMERGE : )

This male emerged today and let me take a few photos before he flew off, he’s in my butterfly emergence case that’s why you see the screen. The adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, some people like to think they are born but in the lifecycle of a butterfly the caterpillar would be born since it hatches from the egg. He flew off up to the trees after he left the case, now he’s off on his hunt to find a female to mate with : )

My first butterfly didn’t want to pose for me 😀
