What a beautiful Black Swallowtail Butterfly.
I think this is a female, but what do you think? Here is a little help:
The black swallowtail has a wingspan of 6.9–8.4 cm, and females are typically larger than males.[10] The upper wing surface is black with two rows of yellow spots – these spots are large and bright in males and smaller and lighter in females. Females have a prominent blue area between these two rows, while males have a much less prominent blue area. (Wikipedia).
Have a great day!
