Papilio troilus
My granddaughter, left the front door open. I have five vases of freshly cut flowers, in my kitchen and in my dining room. Around 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon, two Spicebush Swallowtail Butterflies, flew through the front door, and into my house. They landed on the freshly cut flowers. They landed on the floor. They landed on the dining room table. They landed on a closet door, and they landed on the left front window of my house. Both of these two butterflies, stayed inside my house, for about one hour, before I captured them, and set them free. Other Names: Green Clouded Swallowtail. Size ( Adult, Length ) : 3.50 in. to 4.49 in. ). Identifying Colors: black, blue, orange, white, yellow, and green. Order: Lepidoptera Family: Papilionidae.
Deciduous woodlands, fields, roadsides, yards, pine barrens, wooded swamps, and parks.
