Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The tiger swallowtail approached the same lantana bush as the giant swallowtail did. The two foraged on blossoms a few feet apart, lofted for some apparent challenge behaviour, and the tiger swallowtail flew off,leaving the giant to forage on the lantana another minute or so. Tiger swallowtails have been in sight perhaps a dozen times in the neighborhood in the last two months but, again, this was the first time this summer that I was near one that settled long enough for a photo. Warm, sunny day.
