The Schaus' Swallowtail is endangered because of habitat loss and because the pesticides used to kill mosquitoes are killing the butterflies.
The most common of the Schaus swallowtail butterflies are found in Florida where they live in a small area of the state. They are also found in the Bahamas, Cuba, and in Hispaniola.
Birds, spiders and other such predators may consume swallowtail butterflies but they are not recommended for human consumption.
Swallowtail butterflies are not poisonous. They are known for their bright colors, which serve as a warning to potential predators about their unpalatability. Some swallowtail species may mimic toxic butterflies to deter predators, but they themselves do not possess venom or toxins. Instead, they rely on their appearance and behavior to survive.

The Schaus swallowtail butterfly (Papilio aristodemus ponceanus) has several adaptations that enhance its survival. Its striking coloration and patterns serve as a warning to predators about its unpalatability, while its ability to mimic other toxic species provides additional protection. The caterpillars feed on specific host plants, which help them incorporate toxins that deter predators. Additionally, their flight patterns and behaviors allow them to evade capture by making quick, unpredictable movements.
It lives up to 5-7 months.
it can stop in mid air and fly backwards
Predators of zebra swallowtail butterflies include birds, spiders, dragonflies, robber flies and other insects.
The accepted scientific name is Papilio aristodemus ponceanus.
Swallowtail enemies primarily refer to the various predators and threats faced by swallowtail butterflies, including birds, wasps, and spiders. Additionally, they face challenges from parasites, such as larvae of certain flies and wasps that can infest their eggs or caterpillars. Habitat loss and environmental changes also pose significant risks to their survival. Overall, these enemies impact the populations and distribution of swallowtail butterflies in their ecosystems.
