A team of four participated in this week's survey under warm and mostly cloudy conditions. Black Swallowtails exhibit sexually dimorphic coloration. While males have larger yellow markings, females (as shown below) have obvious blue areas on their hind wings, mimicking the distasteful Pipevine Swallowtail.
