Description
Gorgeous Giant Swallowtail Butterfly prepares to land on a white flower. The Giant Swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes) is the largest of all North American butterflies. Both male and female have dark brown wings with yellow markings, including a large horizontal yellow strip across the wings. The underside and body are mostly yellow. Its size is typically in the 4.0" - 6.0" range.
This swallowtail ranges throughout much of the Eastern United States, and is less common in the American Southwest and southern California. It typically stays close to wooded areas, and close to the ground. Some of the favorite nectar plants of the Giant Swallowtail are Milkweed, Lantana, Butterfly Bush, Zinnias, and many others.
