Spicebush Swallowtail

Papilio troilus

Description:

Mostly black butterfly with a distinctive set of light blue crescents around the bottom sides of the wings.

Habitat:

Mixed forest.

Notes:

I thought it was neat that the second photo includes a flesh fly and the third photo shows the butterfly feeding with three other flies.
