Interesting Facts about Swallowtails
A Swallowtail is a butterfly that is only found in Mexico. A Swallowtail butterfly is a pale yellow with a black border along its wings. There are yellow spots in the border and black strips come down on the top wings. Their bottom wings have a small tail on each side that gives them the name Swallowtail. Swallowtails are flying insects like all butterflies. All butterflies hatch as caterpillars and live on the plant their mom left them. They make cocoons to develop into butterflies. They sleep for a while and then they wake up and break out of their cocoons. They then go out and live off flower nectar and fruit.
