Anise Swallowtail
Papilio zelicaon

The Anise Swallowtail is one of the most adaptable native butterflies, along with the Eastern Black Swallowtail. Males are especially ardent hilltop fliers, and seek out any eminence on the horizon as a courtship rendezvous.

Description: 2 5/8-3" (67-76 mm). Yellow-banded; more yellow than black. Lemon-yellow spots in midwing band above are straight-edged and fill spaces between veins of wing; HW flushed with blue between broad, yellow band and medium-long tail; HW eyespot orange with large, round, centered pupil. Similar below. Black abdomen has yellow side stripes.
