76 PLATE CGXI. 



Papilio Machaon and Papilio Podalirius are the only two fpecies 

 of Swallow-tail Butterflies that have been found in England. Both 

 are very fcarce, but Papilio Machaon lefs fo than Papilio Poda- 

 lirius, of which a figure has been given in another part of this 

 work. 



Entomologills mention feveral parts of the country in which it has 

 been taken, both in the larva and winged ftate. Harris fays it feeds 

 on wild fennel and carrots; that on© he found remained in the chry- 

 falis flate from the 23d of September to May the 15th following, 

 and another, that changed July the 15th, produced a butterfly the 

 10th of Auguft. He adds, that the fpecies was found in the mea- 

 dows of Briftol and Weflram. 



From the number of foreign authors who have given figures of 

 the Butterfly, we may imagine that it is very common on the Con- 

 tinent. Thofe preferved in cabinets of Englifh Infects are gene- 

 rally brought from Germany, from whence alfo we fometimes 

 receive preferved fpecimens of the Caterpillars.
