Beautiful! I have 3 of these cats right now. I've only raised monarchs before. Is there a good resource for specifics, on how to raise them? So far I'm doing everything that I'd do for the monarchs, except feed them bronze fennel. They seem to be doing very well.

Mine are wild cherry tree leaves and ash leaves. There is probably lots of info on here somewhere!

Tiffany, the butterfly here is not the same as what you are raising. You're raising black swallowtails. Regina has a dark form female tiger swallowtail.

This webpage has good info on raising black swallowtails.
