SWALLOW-TAIL BUTTERFLY. 
The Caterpillar is large, and extremely 
beautiful. It is smooth; and of a lovely pale 
green on the back, softening into a fine bottle- 
blue towards the belly: being striped with 
black transverse lines, in the same manner as 
the stripes of the Zebra; on which lines, or 
stripes, are spots of fine crimson. This Ca- 
terpillar feeds on Wild Fennel, Carrots, and 
umbelliferous plants ; and changes into the 
Chrysalis about the months of July and Sep- 
tember. 
It appears in the winged state, in May and 
August.
