Description
From my Butterflies base set and checking out some Royal Penstemon nectar.
The Tiger Swallowtail is one of the largest butterflies in North America, as well as one of the most familiar. There are two species of Tiger Swallowtail which are divided by the Rocky Mountain range. Both look similiar except that the "Eastern" Tiger Swallowtail is a little larger than its "Western" cousin and the stripes on its forewings end before reaching the hind edge.
