The spicebush swallowtail butterfly typically has a lifespan of about 10 to 12 months. However, this can vary depending on environmental conditions and predation. Adults usually emerge in the spring and can live through the summer into the fall, with some individuals overwintering in their chrysalis stage.
If the plants that serve as food sources for the black swallowtail butterfly continue to decrease, the butterfly population would likely decline due to a lack of suitable host plants for their larvae. This reduction in food availability could lead to lower survival rates for caterpillars and ultimately impact adult butterfly numbers. Additionally, the overall ecosystem balance may be disrupted, affecting other species that rely on similar habitats. Thus, the long-term survival of the black swallowtail butterfly could be at significant risk.
(Papilio dardanus) The Papilio dardanus swallowtail is a light cream colored swallowtail. It's supposedly called The Flying Handkerchief because it will attack a handkerchief if you throw it in the air. Of course you have to be in Africa for this to work. Origin: Africa. This butterfly fits just fine in the 7.5 x 6.5 case, however the 9.5 x 9.5 offers a more spacious look.
A large butterfly (wingspan 3-5 inches), the two-tailed swallowtail is found only west of the Mississippi in North America (in canyon lands, foothills, valleys, woodlands, and gardens from southwestern Canada through the western half of the U.S. and into Mexico).
