Instead of wing damage, I see unmarred, perfect wings on a tiger swallowtail newly emerged from its chrysalis. It takes several hours before its wings form completely and the insect can fly. In the meantime, it hobbles along as well as it can in search of a perch from which to spring aloft.
Thanks for this - makes perfect sense. And I reckon mid to late April is about the right time to emerge?
