Tiger swallowtails are often seen flying high over deciduous woods, forests, and along nearby streams.

They often amass at mud puddles.

These beauties are easy to spot, but only for a brief time as their life span is about two weeks.

If you have a recent photo to share email it large-size to editor@trailtimes.ca.
