Black Swallowtails (Papilio polyxenes) are a common sight in southern lower Michigan. Their range extends into northern lower Michigan, mainly along the western side. Black Swallowtails also occur in the upper pennisula, but on a limited basis.
Host plants include memebers of the parsley family, such as the kind you plant in a herb garden.
