MEMBER PRICE $15.25
Six swallowtail butterfly species live in California, from the common western tiger to the rare western giant swallowtail. Where to find each, host plants, and flight seasons.
If you’re looking for swallowtail butterfly species in California, you have six to track down – and every one of them is worth the effort. The most common is the western tiger swallowtail, a large yellow-and-black butterfly you’ll see cruising along riparian corridors from the Oregon border down to San Diego County. But California also hosts the anise swallowtail, pipevine swallowtail, pale swallowtail, two-tailed swallowtail, and the recently split western giant swallowtail (Papilio rumiko). Each occupies different habitat, flies at different times of year, and uses different host plants – so knowing what to look for and where to look matters.
- Hand-made in the USA (PA)
- Contains post-consumer cereal box paperboard, a protective clear coat, and surgical steel hangers
