The Tiger Swallowtail is a large butterfly known for its striking yellow and black coloration. It has distinctive black tiger-like stripes across its wings, which can span up to 5 inches. This butterfly is commonly found in North America, particularly in wooded areas, gardens, and near water sources. Adult Tiger Swallowtails feed on nectar from various flowers, while their caterpillars primarily consume the leaves of trees such as tulip poplar and cherry. They undergo a complete metamorphosis, transitioning from egg to caterpillar, then to pupa, and finally emerging as a beautiful butterfly.
