Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
Butterfly -
Black Female Form -
Papilio glaucus
The black female form of the Eastern Tiger
Swallowtail supposedly mimics the
Pipevine swallowtail, and is most often seen in areas where the pipevine is
active.
These pictures were taken at Alpharetta, Georgia, and there were most definitely
a mixture of the two species here. These butterflies look like someone took a
normal yellow tiger swallowtail and dusted it with black spray paint. |
