We always see monarch butterfly during Spring to Summer seasons in our yards or our city gardens and parks:

Contrary, we rarely see the swallowtails butterfly. We don’t know whether this is just for our cases.


Two contradict facts:

1) Monarch butterfly includes in endangered species list by “International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).”


2) The Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly with scientific name, Papilio troilus Linnaeus, is excluded from IUCN list. It means that the swallowtails butterfly should be seen more than Monarch butterfly in nature.

As reported by UF IFAS (2015: Featured Creatures) that butterfly of the Spicebush swallowtail is “relatively common” in the nature and in the botanical gardens or city parks.


The species distributes in the states throughout the eastern and the mid-western parts of the USA.
