Polydamus Swallowtail
Battus polydamus

Field Notes
Description:
Fast moving black with yellow rim butterflies that try to take over my garden because they love my flowers for nectar and my Pipevine bush for laying their eggs.
Habitat:
Gardens
Notes:
These rascals fly so fast and sit so little, I have considerable difficulty getting a non-active picture. They like to chase away the Giant Swallowtails, the Sulphurs , the Zebra Longwings and anything else they feel is competing with them.
