142/366 | Eastern Black Swallowtail
There are four types of "dark swallowtails" which can be difficult to tell apart. After doing some research, I'm pretty confident that this is the Eastern Black Swallowtail due to the arrangement of the orange spots on the ventral side. This gorgeous gal was feasting on Brazilian vervain near a pond.
