Spicebush Swallowtail Butterfly Print

Elegant, iridescent, and full of quiet magic.

This hand-drawn illustration features the Spicebush Swallowtail (Papilio troilus), a dark, graceful butterfly known for its soft black wings, pale spots, and striking flashes of blue or green on the hindwings. Found in eastern woodlands and gardens, it’s a master of subtle beauty — and mimicry — often mistaken for the toxic Pipevine Swallowtail.

Printed on your choice of archival matte or textured linen fine art paper, this piece captures the mystery and elegance of this species, making it a moody and meaningful addition to any nature-inspired gallery wall.
