The Monarch is the official WV state butterfly, but I think they should change it to the Tiger ST. Or maybe the Zebra ST. Seriously, I found three Tigers that got whomped by cars going along route 10. Grandma lives on route 10 and they tend to fall toward her yard. You can watch them fly from mountain to mountain. Once, I got stuck in a traffic jam and I watched them flying over the interstate. They're EVERYWHERE! I guess because tulip poplars grow all over the place. I found six eggs while I was there and tried to feed them cherry back home but it didn't go so well. Everytime we drove anywhere I would just marvel at all the Tiger STs flying around. Oh, and the females tend to be dark form like the one in my picture. See the stripes?
