Depending on where you live, you might see Common Yellow swallowtail butterflies a lot. But there are many other species of swallowtail butterflies. Take a look at some of the beautiful but lesser-known species in a list at Ark in Space. The butterfly pictured here is called the Chinese Peacock. Link
