We saw one here (Macalester Groveland) 2 days ago, and a friend who lives about 4 blocks away has also had one recently. It was a fun surprise, since our common milkweed patch nurtures mainly Monarchs. (We've released 35 so far, with more on the way.) I suspect the uptick in flower-gardens will raise Swallowtail sightings. Linda Whyte
