Monday Nature Mystery

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Nature Mystery, Catina Anderson!

We had some great guesses! Catina was the first to post the correct answer: Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillar (Battus philenor). According to Butterflies of the Mid-Atlantic ([link removed]) , these brilliant blue butterflies have three broods from April through September. The host plants include Pipevine and Virginia Snakeroot and the chrysalis can overwinter.

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag. Here is this week’s mystery photo:

Be sure to post your answers on our Facebook page @AudubonVA ([link removed]) under the Monday Mystery post...do not reply to this email with your guess!
