Spicebush Swallowtail
Papilio troilus

Observation date: May 18, 2014
Submitted by: britches
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I came upon this torn up butterfly in my path on a walk in the woods. I pieced together the full wing, so it's possible I put it together wrong, but those were the parts that were there. It was such a beautiful butterfly though so I wondered what it was.
