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.
