Giant Swallowtail Photos from FOB Sarah Gershaw

Posted on August 18, 2012 by Kim Smith

Several days ago we posted about the local Giant Swallowtail Butterfly sightings. GMG reader and Wenham resident Sarah Gershaw reported she spotted a Giant Swallowtail in her garden that very day. She’s sent in her terrific photos. Thank you Sarah for sharing!
