I managed to overwinter three Eastern black swallowtail chrysalises in my unheated garage and released them about a month ago. Despite all of the various host plants and flowers throughout the yard, I did not see one until this morning.
I'm hoping this is not a male who thinks he is found the perfect mate. Even Maggie had to turn around to see what was up.
