Dave, thank you for the generous "rating". But, I'll take it !!!

hollybee, Zebra Swallowtail caterpillars eat only Paw Paw leaves according to my research. Here is a link to "Larval Food Plant list for various butterflies" that may be helpful.

I usually only see a few of them each summer.

This was my first peek into this Forum and I�ve been blown away at the other 10�s I�ve seen. Obviously, this is attracting the cream of the crop of DG photographers not the least of whom is wallaby1.

Thanks all for the eye candy !
