Zebra Swallowtail
Protographium marcellus
Adult zebra swallowtails patrol sunny woodland edges, river valleys, and gardens where pawpaw trees grow. They drink nectar from flowers and males often cruise through habitat in search of females. The long tails on the hindwings give this butterfly its distinctive swallowtail silhouette in flight.
