Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Description:

Tiger Swallowtails are one of my most favorite butterflies! They are very large butterflies, with a wingspan of 2.5 - 4.5 inches, and black and yellow striped wings.

Habitat:

Tiger Swallowtails use a number of different plants as host plants, many of which are trees....butterfly bushes ..lilac bushes and most flowers.

Notes:

This butterfly was damaged. I don't know if someone tried to catch it or if it was roughed up in a wind.
