Want to help? There are two ways you can. First, if you found a food plant for a species of swalllowtail, report it to me – email: bart.coppens@hotmail.com (personal email, do not abuse). I prefer records with a location and picture, since I am reluctant to just take your word for it, even if your intentions are kind.
