Yes, tiger swallowtail butterflies (Papilio glaucus) die.Specifically, a tiger swallowtail begins as yellow-green egg. It hatches into a caterpillar that is first brown and white and then lime green with yellow eyespots with black pupils and a yellow and black line around the neck. It makes a change into the resting or pupal stage. It transforms into a beautiful butterfly long enough to produce two to three distinct broods that will hatch into the next generation of tiger swallowtail butterflies.
