Pipevine swallowtails (Battus philenor) are unique for their striking iridescent blue and black coloration, which serves as a warning to predators about their toxicity. Their larvae feed exclusively on pipevine plants, making them specialized in their diet. This relationship not only provides them with a source of nourishment but also helps them acquire toxic compounds that enhance their defense against predators. Additionally, they exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males and females displaying different coloration and size.
