9. nice shot.....but, I don't think it's a black swallowtail......

....black swallowtails have a lot more yellow on the inside of the wing, if I'm not mistaken. if I were to guess, I'd say it's a pipevine swallowtail (Battus philenor). I had a ton of these in my yard when I lived in Austin because I had several of their host plants, which are pipevines (plants in the genus Aristolochia). the easiest Aristolochia to grow in TX seemed to be Aristolochia fimbriata, and they were drawn to it like a magnet....their larva looks like a venomous moth larva with spines all over it but the spines are rubbery and soft and the larva is harmless and not venomous (tho it's probably toxic to birds and other predators).

whereabouts do you live? it's possible that it's something else but I'm fairly certain it's not a black swallowtail and is likely a pipevine swallowtail.

keep shooting!
