Wayne's Butterfly Garden

The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is a large butterfly appropriately named for the vertical black stripes on yellow wings.  It is a frequent visitor to butterfly gardens and feeds on the nectar of various flowers including butterfly bush, lilac, milkweed and cone flowers.  The caterpillars feed on the leaves of tulip poplar, wild cherry, and sweetbay.
