An aged dark phase tiger swallowtail alighted near me while I was dumping
old veggies into my compost bin in Westborough late this morning. It was
sunny with temperature in the upper 70's.

I didn't get many glimpses of it from the side of the ventral side of its
thin brown wings, but I did see a couple of brighter yellow dots at times on
the dorsal side near where the forewings and hindwings met, and no more
yellow than that. The only blue I saw was at the bottom where the hind
wings met. After alighting near me, it flew back into the woods where there
are oak and sassafras seedling.
