Pollinator Profile #2: Spicebush Swallowtail (Papilio Troilus)
Favorite song: Spice Spice Baby
Nickname: Spice Girl, Sassyfrass
My Motto: Goofy to Glamorous in less than 2 months!
The Spicebush swallowtail is one of our most beloved visitors at the SBG. Its adorable caterpillar can be found hiding out inside curled leaves of the Spicebush or sassafras. Those fake eye spots might scare predators-- but to us, they just look cute!
As for the adult butterfly, its look has been described as a “cityscape at night”, with a dramatic wash of blue, along with white spots, standing out against its dark wings. Both are a welcome sight in the Garden.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
