Description

Family Papilionidae

'The Papilionidae belong to the Superfamily Papilionoidea, the true butterflies. Swallowtails are worldwide in distribution and comprise approximately 560 species. They are richest in the tropics, and their brilliant colors make them favorites of butterfly enthusiasts. Many swallowtail species, especially in the tropics, mimic other butterflies that are distasteful, while others are distasteful and cause birds and other vertebrate predators to regurgitate. Swallowtail adults are medium to large and may or may not have tails, while parnassian adults are medium, tailless, and have translucent wings . All adult parnassians and swallowtails have three pairs of walking legs , and adults of all species visit flowers for nectar.

Subfamily Papilioninae

Swallowtails are members of the Family Papilionidae. They comprise about 560 species, have a worldwide distribution, and are richest in the tropics. Many are brilliantly colored and are favorites of butterfly enthusiasts. Many species, especially those in the tropics, mimic other butterflies that are distasteful, while others are distasteful and cause birds and other vertebrate predators to regurgitate. Adults are medium to large, may or may not have tails, and have three pairs of walking legs . Adults of all species visit flowers for nectar. Males of most species patrol for mates, while males of one group (Black, Old World, Anise, and Indra Swallowtails) perch on hilltops or ridges instead of patrolling . Swallowtails lay globular eggs and overwinter as pupae. Some species spend more than one year in the pupal stage, likely to survive drought years when little caterpillar food is available. In arid areas, the Black, Anise, and Indra Swallowtails often display this strategy.

Physical Description

Habitat

Many locales including rocky and sandy hillsides near streams or gullies in the north; pine flats, towns, and citrus groves in the south.

Along the coast, seen mainly in or near maritime forests or thickets, especially extensive, high-quality forests with prickly-ash (Xanthoxylum clava-herculis). In the Brushy Mountains and in Caldwell County, seen in upland forests with hoptree (Ptelea trifoliata). Seen along the New River in Ashe and Alleghany counties, where hoptree grows in places along this river. Migrants could be seen in most any habitat . (ref. 104716)

Biology

Diet

Caterpillar hosts: Trees and herbs of the citrus family (Rutaceae) including Citrus species, prickly ash (Zanthoxylum americanum), and hop tree (Ptelea trifoliata). Adult food: Nectar from lantana, azalea, bougainvilla, bouncing Bet, dame's rocket, goldenrod, Japanese honeysuckle, and swamp milkweed.

The foodplants are always in the rue family (Rutaceae); in NC, prickly-ash along the coast and hoptree at scattered inland sites (over mafic soil). The species nectars frequently. (ref. 104716)

Caterpillar hosts: Trees and herbs of the citrus family (Rutaceae) including Citrus species, prickly ash (Zanthoxylum americanum), hop tree (Ptelea trifoliata), and Common Rue (Ruta graveolens). (ref. 105509)

Reproduction

Males patrol for receptive females. Females lay single eggs on host leaves and twigs . Caterpillars resemble bird droppings and eat leaves and young shoots . Chrysalids hibernate.

Behavior

Flight: Two in the north from May-September; all year in Florida and the Deep South.

Flight period: Apparently two broods. The first brood seems somewhat rudimentary , with a small flight in late April and May near the coast, and throughout May well inland. The primary flight (possibly composed of two broods) occurs near the coast from mid-June to early October, with numbers peaking in July and August; in the foothills and mountains it occurs from early August to mid-September. However, much more data are needed to define the flight periods away from the coast. (ref. 104716)
