Anise Swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon)

This attractive common species ranges across western North America. The widespread naturalization of introduced Sweet Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) may account for its being so widespread. This is the typical yellow form. A black form also occurs with reduced yellow striping. Formerly "P. gothica."
