J20170914-0094—Anise swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon) on Perideridia kelloggii—RPBG—DxO by John Rusk Via Flickr: Anise swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon) larva on Yampah (Perideridia kelloggii). This is the fifth instar of the larva. It will soon form a chrysalis, to emerge as a beautiful butterfly. This photo is proof , if proof be needed, that the swallowtail is not restricted to fennel (anise) but will select nearly any of the Apiaceae family as host, as well as several members of the citrus family. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.

Photos from a failed raising

I collected this specimen off our lemon tree. I’m not entirely sure how it died, but it’s possible disease got the better of it.

This species is often called the Orchard Swallowtail, as they feed on trees in the Citrus genus (lemons, oranges, tangerines, etc.). There’s a few swallowtail butterfly caterpillars that feed on Citrus, but this species is the most common sight for me.

Papilio aegeus
