Eastern tiger swallowtail

Eastern tiger swallowtail
Papilio glaucus. The males of this species are always yellow. Females can be either yellow or black, with black being more common in the southern part of their range.

I like our two swallowtail types, and American one adds an elegant, if darker, addition to the set. I presume there are more swallowtail types out there?
Super capture as ever,Ronald!

Thanks, Andy. My copy of "Kaufman field guide to butterflies of North America" lists 28 species of swallowtails. There's always something new to be seen.

28? Well, I'm not actually all that surprised. But I think there are only 2 in Europe (someone is sure to correct me here!)..

Thank you very much, Marie-claire. If you haven't visited North America in the summer, you haven't seen one of these. Best wishes for the new week.

Thank you very much, Keith. There are many types of butterflies here in Mississippi. I really enjoy seeing them. (Sorry for my late reply. My modem was struck by lightning five days ago, and just today replaced.)
