An Eastern tiger swallowtail on a butterfly bush. The bush's flowers are dozens of deep purple flowers leaning into the photo from the right. The swallowtail is mostly yellow with black stripes stretching down from the tops of the wings and a black line across the bottom with small yellow spots at the edge. The background of the photo is blurred.

Papilio glaucus or eastern tiger swallowtail. Given the edges of its wing, I'm thinking that this is a male. I only ever see these near woodland areas so coming across one in the yard is always a blessed gift.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly. If you see that iridescent blue on its tail, you’ve encountered a female! How to support? Plant nectar flowers like thistles, annuals, etc. If you see this 🦋 , one of their host trees is nearby: Ash, Birch, Wild Cherry, Cottonwood, Tulip, & Willow #papilioglaucus
A female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail feeding off the nectar provided by the orange blooms of Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa). This butterfly has a wingspan of 5 inches. This butterfly is yellow with black stripes resembling the pattern of a tiger, hence, the common name. Females have a splash of blue on their tails that distinguishes them from males. Males are only yellow and black. A sidebar piece of trivia: Another unusual characteristic for these female butterflies is dimorphic coloring. Females can also be all black mimicking the distasteful Pipevine Swallowtail. We’ll touch base on this mimicry in a future post whenever I encounter one and capture an image! pollinators backyardwildlife bugsky invertebrates
