Swallowtail Butterflies

when I had one i kept its cage clean and it eats most plants [non poisonous] and they love carrots. I gave mine carrot shreds and they love it. after this for a while they pupate. [go into a cocoon] and eventually they hatch as adult black swallowtails. Remember to let them stretch their wings before they can fly. Sorry if too much info...

I think so, cuz some zebras hunt their own

food and some depend on other animals to get food for them

until they are strong enough ( especially the ones which are pregnant ).

So the answer should be both,

either they hunt animals or they depend on others :)

Hope you find it useful!!

Yes they do. Zebra swallowtails are native the eastern US and southeast Canada.

The boy Tiger Swallowtail has little to no blue at the bottom of its wings. The girl Tiger Swallowtail has a lot of blue near the bottom of its wings.

Like other butterflies, black swallowtails feed on flowering plants. The types of plants they feed from depends on their location and the availability of certain plant species.

the girl caterpillar will be brown and have large ''eyespots''. the boy will be green and have smaller ''eyespots''

Favorite Flowers: Butterfly weed, phlox, clover, milkweed, Hesperis, Mexican Sunflower and thistle

It depends on the time of year. If the caterpillar turned into a pupa near the beginning of summer than it would stay in the pupa for two weeks. If the caterpillar pupated near the end of summer or fall, then it will stay in the pupa all winter and hatch next summer.

The adaptations that help the tiger swallowtail butterfly are that the wings look a little like a tiger's face.

Butterflies are insects. Insects are Arthropod animals. They have exoskeletons, which means the skeleton is on the outside instead of the inside. Butterflies have to shed their skin to grow, which you can see when the caterpiller splits its skin, crawls out, then changes into a pupa.

It is usually colourful,but it also can be just one colour.

Easy black swallowtail caterpillars are smaller caterpillars. SwallowTail caterpillars are bigger than black swallow tail caterpillars

Birds eat the giant swallowtail butterfly.

The duration of Swallowtail Butterfly - film - is 2.47 hours.

Yes, the eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) is a heterotroph. As a butterfly, it cannot produce its own food through photosynthesis like plants do; instead, it relies on consuming organic substances, primarily nectar from flowers, as well as other plant materials and, during its larval stage, leaves from host plants. This reliance on other organisms for energy and nutrients classifies it as a heterotrophic organism.

Only caterpillars actually eat the leaves of the various plants; adult butterflies feed on nectar from various plant types. Caterpillars feed on varying members of the carrot family including parsnip (this butterfly is also sometimes called the parsnip swallowtail), Queen Anne's Lace, dill, parsley and others.
