The Spicebush Swallowtail (Papilio troilus) is a butterfly with black wings, pale green spots, and iridescent blue-green coloring on its hindwings. Females typically have a brighter blue sheen, while males tend toward blue-green.
Habitat: Found in deciduous woodlands, wooded swamps, forest edges, parks, and gardens.
Range: Found across eastern North America, from southern Canada to Florida and west to Texas and parts of the Midwest. Very common in my home state of Ohio!
Diet: Caterpillars feed primarily on spicebush and sassafras leaves, while adults drink nectar from flowers such as thistles, milkweed, and jewelweed.
Interesting Fact: Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillars develop large eyespots that make them look like tiny snakes, helping scare away potential predators.
Add a touch of natural beauty to your laptop, water bottle, phone case, car, or any other surface with this waterproof sticker. Featuring a Spicebush Swallowtail Butterfly on a white background, this irregularly-shaped, matte laminated sticker is suited for both indoor and outdoor use.
