    What an incredible find, Meryl! Swallowtails are my favorite type of butterflies. They're beautiful and they know it, with their slow flight :) Posted 10 years ago

The Zebra swallowtail

Protographium marcellus is a swallowtail butterfly native to the eastern United States and southeast Canada. It is the state butterfly of Tennessee. Its distinctive wing shape and long tails make it easy to identify, and its black-and-white-striped pattern is reminiscent of a zebra.
