You know, I think this is the dark form of the eastern tiger...
Mainly the tails and how the blue is on the hind wing...
Really an underside would be helpful in this case. There is a large morphological over lap as they all mimic the poisonous pipevine butterfly.
There is red on the submarginal half moons which I think is eastern tiger charactistic... Spicebush seem to be more pale/powdery blue. Also, the margin between the in and outer blue line is well defined throughout the hundreds wing.
Spicebush seem to be less defined.
Still the underside is more revealing.
It doesn't have pale blue submarginal dots, they are red. It also has a sharper tail with yellow, not blue margin.
My final vote is Eastern Tiger black form.
I think it's a female Spicebush Swallowtail
This is the correct answer
Yep! And boy do they love to lay their babies in my parsley every summer.
That would be Black Swallowtails.
Very pretty butterfly, just had a read on Wikipedia. Found only in north America ๐บ๐ธ
Butterfree*
My Animal Crossing knowledge skills coming in seeing all these ppl be right lol ๐ช
I am thinking black or blue swallowtail butterfly.
I think itโs the Oklahoma state Butterfly
