The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly, depicted in our design, holds a special place in the world of lepidopterology. This butterfly, scientifically known as Papilio glaucus, is native to Eastern North America and is best known for its large size and distinctive yellow and black striped pattern, reminiscent of a tiger's markings. Not just a pretty face, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is a master of mimicry. The female butterfly has the unique ability to appear in two forms: one yellow like the male, and a dark form that expertly imitates the unpalatable Pipevine Swallowtail, a clever trick to deter predators. Interesting fact: this fluttering beauty is the state butterfly of several states, including Alabama, South Carolina, and Delaware, demonstrating its cultural significance and enduring popularity.
