Species description
The Swallowtail is a beautiful and fairly common Butterfly if looked at in the right place. The Swallowtail has been seen in East Anglia and Norfolk as that is the place where most of it's population lives. The Swallowtails larval food plant is essential for it's species survival. The Swallowtail gets it's name by having two extra long parts of its lower wings (Like tails) so if a bird treys to eat it it catch it's wing and not the Butterfly it's self. (Loosing part of it's wing doesn't hurt.)
