Polydamas Swallowtail
Battus polydamas

Observation date: July 24, 2016
Submitted by: jakester322
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly emerged from its chrysalis this morning. At 8:00 am it had not yet emerged. I note the red-orange markings on the underwing are not round, as in other pictures I've seen. Is this, in fact, a Battus philenor?
