Anise Swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon) Zooming in on the "pupils" inside the orange eyespots of these two different individuals, they look to be touching the edge of the wing, a field mark usually associated with Old World Swallowtail. However, the abdomen is clearly mostly black with a yellow stripe. Old World Swallowtail abdomens should show the opposite pattern. | ||
