The Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) butterfly is a common visitor to open fields and farmlands, and frequently seen in urban landscapes. It can be seen from the Gulf of Mexico to southern Canada, from the Atlantic seaboard westward to Arizona, Southern California, Colorado, and North Dakota.
It features black wings with rows of yellow spots, separated by blue scaling.
It is similar to the Pipevine Swallowtail, Spicebush Swallowtail[1], and Palamedes Swallowtail[2] but wing patterns are somewhat different. See our page that helps to identify common black-colored swallowtails[3].
The typical size is in the 2.5" - 4.0" range.
A side-by-side comparison of the male and female Black Swallowtail is shown below....
