Uploaded by: dypepper — Viernes Mayo 18, 2012 — Bellefontaine, MS (Current Weather Conditions)

The first Zebra Swallowtail I've seen at our home. Here is something I copied from the Internet: The Zebra Swallowtail (Eurytides marcellus) is a butterfly with distinctive black and white markings and elongated tails on its hindwings. The caterpillar is yellow-green with black and yellow stripes. Larvae eat pawpaw. The Zebra Swallowtail has a wingspan of about 2-2.75 inches (5-7 cm). The Zebra Swallowtail lives for about 6 months in its adult stage. It is found in the eastern part of North A

Haven't seen one of these since I was a kid in Virginia about 55 years ago. Maybe I should plant some pawpaw? Congrats on the AC, Dorothy!

If the caterpillars eat pawpaw leaves, Dorothy, then maybe the reason I don't see the butterflies is we have no pawpaw patches around here that I know of. The fruits are edible and prized by some humans too, though they're too delicate to ship and so you never see them in supermarkets. Named varieties of the trees are available from nurseries, however, and the wild ones do grow in our area. I've never seen one or tasted the fruit, which according to the literature tastes like banana custard. But I recognize photos of the tree from my reading.
