The swallowtails or Papilionidae are among the most diverse and beautiful butterflies. As you will see in this presentation, not all species have tails on hind wings. The color patterns may be quite different on the dorsal and ventral sides of their wings. I call these "classic Papilionidae" because most species represented are from Holarctic, where the study of butterflies originated a couple of centuries ago. Their illustrations appear in old books unlike many tropical species that were discovered a century or so later. And of course, their fine color patterns go well with classic music. Enjoy!
