Fine green fennel fronds surround three very small black caterpillars. Each has a tiny white blotch in the center.Green fennel fronds surround a small black caterpillar with a white blotch in the center. It will eventually become much larger and sprout pseudo-horns, then pupate for a while before eclosing as a black & yellow swallowtail butterfly.Fine green fennel fronds surround two  small blurry black caterpillars.

The first tiny anise swallowtail caterpillar of the season! It’s the little black diagonal in the center with a touch of white in the middle. Soon the fennel patch will welcome dozens more. #swallowtail #insects #butterflies #aniseSwallowtail #garden #entomology

"A research team has identified a new species of tiger swallowtail butterfly living in eastern parts of North America. In their study they captured and compared samples of Papilio glaucus and Papilio canadensis hybrids and compared them with both species, finding evidence that the hybrid butterflies were actually a unique species".

A close-up photograph of a Scarce Swallowtail butterfly (Iphiclides podalirius) perched on a lavender flower. The butterfly displays distinctive black and pale yellow striped wings with long tail-like projections. The wings show a clear pattern of alternating stripes, creating a zebra-like effect. The butterfly is captured in sharp detail against a soft, blurred green background, demonstrating the photographic technique of shallow depth of field. The lavender flowers appear in shades of purple and gray, with multiple small blooms along the stem. The image captures the butterfly in a natural feeding position, with its proboscis extended toward the flower.

"i may be an older model
my wings may be ragged and torn
but you're taking my picture
& that sez something"-- swallowtail butterfly, probably

A large yellow butterfly with black accents and a classic swallowtail is perched on a lantana bush with its tongue extended to sip from a yellow lantana floret. All around are other yellow & orange lantana flowers. Only if you look will you notice that some of the ragged edges of the large beautiful wings are age & wear rather than the natural border. This is a swallowtail butterfly at Arena Blanca, Peru, but I don't know the species, the Americas host many swallowtails.... Photo by Peachfront. Nov 2024.

On a sunny day, a very large yellow and black swallowtail with, yep, two "tails" on its lower wings is feeding on a lantana flower. In the background is the blurred green and pink of more flowers. Time & place: Cocachimba, Peru. Refugio del Colibrí Espátula.  Nov 2024. Photo by Peachfront. I saw other large swallowtails at Huembo and Arena Blanca but who knows if they're the same species, could be... :shrug:
