| This Butterfly was huge! |

| Tiger Swallowtails are usually larger. I had some huge Black Swallowtails emerge this summer. They were the size of a Tiger Swallowtail. I was awed by their size. Butterflies within the same family can be small, medium, or large. Genetics and food quality/quantity play a role in this. |
