Hop Tree Bug - Papilio cresphontes

Size: 2"
This type of bugs show up every year in the fall only on my hop trees. They love eating the leaves of the hop trees.

Giant Swallowtail
Looks like Papilio cresphontes. A beauty we get down here in Texas too!

Giant Swallowtail
Thank you Lisa - yes, these larva are so ugly that they are beautiful.

Thanks to your reply I will not be killing them anymore - I like butterflies :)

I grow a lot of milkweed for the Monarch butterflies and now I will have Giant Swallowtails. Their larva love my hop trees, which are under protection of a government here in Ontario.

Greetings from Canada!
