The Giant Swallowtail (Paipilio
Cresphontes) ia a wonderfully-“exotic”-looking butterfly. They are widely
spread in various parts of North America, particularly in the south and the
east. With a wingspan about 10-16 cm, it is the largest butterfly in Canada and
the United States.
The
body and wings are dark brown to black with yellow bands. There is a yellow ‘eye’
in each wing tail. The abdomen has bands of yellow along with the previously
mentioned brown.
Papilon
Cresphontes is mostly seen in deciduous forest that falling of its leaves
annually and in citrus orchards where they are considered major pest. Some animals
defend themselves from predator by mimicry but the giant swallowtail wards off
the predatorsby producing polymorphism liquid. They fly between May toAUgust
where there are two broods in the north and three in the south. Their main
habitat is the mountain rangess in Jamaica. Swallowtail butterflies begin with
the eggs. When they are hatched, they grow into caterpillars before changing
into chrysalis. Soon they will become adult butterflies.
