Papilio troilus, the spicebush swallowtail or green-clouded butterfly, is a common black swallowtail butterfly found in North America. Their flight period is early May to mid-October. The caterpillar is easily found in shelters of folded sassafras leaves.
I chose this butterfly because where I grew up they were plentiful. I remember sitting just watching them on a lazy Fall afternoon.
I have often wondered if they were named "spicebush" because the sassafras they favor has such a fragrant "spicy" smell when crushed.
I hope you like the pics that I've chosen for you!
I assigned partners after I noticed that the deadline was over and I was the only one who signed up. I don't know why no one signed up. I thought it was a great idea.
