Swallowtail Butterfly in a Spring Meadow
A swallowtail butterfly rests on a poppy bud in a May meadow filled with cornflowers and daisies. Wild meadows host diverse plant life during late spring, offering nectar sources for large fluttering insects.
Life Cycle and Habits of Swallowtail Butterflies
Swallowtail butterflies are easily identified by the tail-like extensions on their hind wings, which resemble the fork of a swallow bird. During May, adult butterflies visit meadow wildflowers such as poppies, cornflowers, and daisies to feed on rich floral nectar. Their long proboscis unfolds like a drinking straw to reach deep inside flower blossoms while pollinating surrounding plants.
