Description
The Pipevine Swallowtail or Blue Swallowtail is a swallowtail butterfly found in North America and Central America. The butterflies are black with iridescent blue hind wings. They are found in many different habitats, but are most commonly found in forests. The black or red caterpillars feed on Aristolochia species, making them poisonous as both larvae and adults, while the adults feed on the nectar of a variety of flowers.
This one was feeding on Navajo Salvia in a garden in Craven County, NC.
