The Giant Swallowtail visited the last couple of days, laying eggs on an orange tree that spends summers outside in the yard. Also, there is evidence of a spicebush swallowtail on six leaves of the spicebush. The leaves are folded over like the close up I got in the picture below. Caterpillars fold the leaf over in the process of pupating/eating/molting.
