Giant swallowtail caterpillar and butterfly (Papilio cresphontes)

The caterpillars feed on prickly ash exclusively in this region, and the one here was photographed at the Reveler Conservation Area. The butterfly was photographed in my garden. Both caterpillars (larvae) and adults (butterflies) are very large.
