Swallowtail Butterflies, 1977

The past few springs I have gone above and beyond to add pollinator friendly plants to my yard, and it has paid off tremendously. This year we have two swallowtail butterflies that come every day for a snack. They are large and lovely and every day, they let my toddlers get a couple inches closer.

This 1977 Swallowtail Butterfly postage stamp was issued in a block of four with three other designs, each depicting a butterfly native to the United States. See all the butterflies here.
