Ok, here are some pics from this morning. You can see the color variations in the little cats, and you can also see them photographed with coins for size comparison. They made it through the first night with me! YAY!!!~~Angie

Top one is the dark form. Dark form is less common.

Yes, zebra swallowtail cats have variations in coloring, but they're all darling!

I'm SO jealous of you! :)

Thanks guys. Sherry, if I could send you some in the mail and have them survive the trip, I surely would! This is so exciting! I found #4 this morning.

Those also look like Spicebush cats. I'm wondering how similar they are.

Tom,
Spicebush swallowtail cats do not look like ZST cats. Spicebush moth (AKA promethea) cats are also very different.

So, I have no idea what spicebush cats you are writing about. We have had confusion about different zebra butterflies today so maybe there is an additional spicebush.
