notes:
Text notes that the New York swallowtail (6) was found in North America and the West Indies. The American zebra (9) was found in America. The New York swallowtail is probably actually the eastern tiger swallowtail, Papilio glaucus, which ranges over a broad area of eastern North America. The American zebra, Heliconius charithonius, is common in southern Florida and southern Texas. It is also called the zebra longwing.
