Papilio palamedes
I *believe* this is a black swallowtail butterfly? Please confirm!
Jackson, SC
Located at a Audubon Society preserve
I agree project noah is great i dont know anything about animals but i learn new things everyday, thanks to the spotters that help us with all the info
Incidentally, the Palamedes is much less common than the black swallowtail so you have a great spot here!
I do love this site. I've learned a lot because of it. Thank you so much!
You are welcome Amy! I learn so much off other spotters - I guess that's one of the main purposes of Project Noah!
You are fantastic. I shall follow you to learn more. Thanks for the info!
Actually a palamedes swallowtail - they are very similar but the black swallowtail doesn't have the extra 3 spots at the top of the wing!
