A large butterfly (wingspan 3-5 inches), the two-tailed swallowtail is found only west of the Mississippi in North America (in canyon lands, foothills, valleys, woodlands, and gardens from southwestern Canada through the western half of the U.S. and into Mexico).
They don't have long wings they all have short and smal wings.
The adaptations that help the tiger swallowtail butterfly are that the wings look a little like a tiger's face.

On June 17th of this year (2008) my kids and I found a newly eclosed Two-tailed Swallowtail butterfly. We could tell that it had just eclosed because its wings were still wrinkly and it could not fly. It seemed awfully vulnerable where it was so we brought it in to sit on a flowering plant, we assumed that it would finish drying its wings and then it would be able to fly. Sadly, its wings never did fully form and it was still flightless so we decided to care for it ourselves. We did some research and discovered that it was a female Two-tailed butterfly and that she would nectar from dandylions. This was a good thing as dandylions are one of very few flowers blooming in mid-June around here (Montana.) We brought her fresh flowers twice a day. She lived until July 8th; about three weeks.
(Papilio dardanus) The Papilio dardanus swallowtail is a light cream colored swallowtail. It's supposedly called The Flying Handkerchief because it will attack a handkerchief if you throw it in the air. Of course you have to be in Africa for this to work. Origin: Africa. This butterfly fits just fine in the 7.5 x 6.5 case, however the 9.5 x 9.5 offers a more spacious look.
The boy Tiger Swallowtail has little to no blue at the bottom of its wings. The girl Tiger Swallowtail has a lot of blue near the bottom of its wings.
The Papillio antimachus butterfly is also called the Giant African Swallowtail. Facts about the butterfly include a wing span from 7-inches to 9-inches. Their wings are brown and red they have a yellow body, and are part of the Papiliondae family.

"Swallowtail" most often refers to an entire family of butterflies with "tails" on the end of the wings. Almost everywhere in the world is home to some type of swallowtail or another, with the most different types in the tropics. In Europe, "swallowtail" often refers to one single species of this family, Papilio machaon, which is found in northern Europe, Asia, Canada, Alaska, and parts of the northern US.
They have their wings on their thorax, or their middle part.
