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.
