And just for the Texans, here's the topside of the Palamedes. There are a few ways to ID the Palamedes. One, the yellow stripe on the underside of the wings that runs parallel to the body. Two, their body is striped whereas many swallowtails are spotted. Third, I think the yellow on the Palamedes (as opposed to the Eastern Black ST) is much less defined. I say it has an "air-brushed" look to it. I gotta get more host plants!!
