Old World swallowtail<\/h3>\n
Elegant and colorful butterfly \"?\"<\/span>\"?\"<\/span><\/div>\n
The Old World swallowtail (Papilio machaon) belongs to the Papilionidae family, which includes numerous splendid tropical butterflies. In fact, this beautiful butterfly stands out for its large size (with a wingspan ranging from 7 to 9 cm), vibrant colors, and graceful shapes.<\/div>\n
Its wings are yellow with black outlines and patterns, adorned with a shimmering blue band that contains a red “eye” and end with two long “tails.”<\/div>\n
The swallowtail frequents meadows and open, sunny environments, including city parks.<\/div>\n
The caterpillar of the swallowtail \"?\"<\/span> is light green with black and orange spots, and it feeds on wild carrots \"?\"<\/span> and other umbelliferous plants. The adult butterfly feeds on flower nectar \"?\"<\/span>\"?\"<\/span> and plays an important role in pollination.<\/div>\n
\"\u2049\ufe0f\"<\/span> Did you know? \"?\"<\/span><\/div>\n
When disturbed, the caterpillars release from behind their heads a type of pungent-smelling orange horns \"?\"<\/span> to scare off potential predators.<\/div>\n
