Palamedes Swallowtail with Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - Papilio palamedes
Hampstead, North Carolina County, North Carolina, USA
March 31, 2021
Size: 3-4 inches
I thought at first these were black swallowtails flying everywhere, but then a closer look at the photos says no. Are they Eastern Tiger Swallowtails? The markings a little confusing. There were hundreds of these flying around today, these were in wooded areas. Saw a few of the yellow eastern tiger swallowtails.
