| While on a field trip to Hennepin and Hopper Lakes, I stumbles across a beautiful Eastern Tiger Sawllowtail Butterfly in the prairie. |
 |
| Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly can be found in the eastern United States. It likes to feed on plants in the Apocynaceae (milkweeds and dogbanes), Asteraceae (asters, sunflowers, daisies, etc.), and Fabaceae (legumes) families. This Swallowtail is dimorphic; the males are black and yellow, the females are either: black, yellow and black, or yellow, black, and blue. |
