- The eastern tiger swallowtail is a large species with a wingspread range of approx. 3.12 to 5.5 inches. Adults are yellow with four black bands on the front wings. The innermost band lines up with the median band of the hind wing. The wing margins are black with a row of yellow spots. Papilio glaucus Linnaeus Papilio glaucus, the eastern tiger swallowtail, is a species of butterfly native to eastern North America. It is one of the most familiar butterflies in the eastern United States, where it is common in many different habitats. Females are dimorphic. The yellow morph differs from the male in having a blue postmedian area on the dorsal hindwing. Adults feed on the nectar of many species of flowers, mostly from those of the families Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, and Fabaceae. Daylilies tend to grow in large clumps, and they get their common name because each individual blossom will last for only a single day. Daylily has some medicinal property which can cure arsenic poisoning effect. Adults use a wide range of food sources, most preferring to nectar on sturdy plants with red or pink flowers
