The attractive Zebra Swallowtail (Eurytides marcellus), with its bold black-and-white striping, is unique among Maryland swallowtails. In Maryland, this species flies in several broods, from mid-April, early July, and again in early September (Butterflies of Maryland: A Biological Summary and Checklist by Lynn Davidson & Richard Smith). Common throughout most of Maryland. Very localized on the southern Eastern Shore where Pawpaw becomes less common.
The host plant for Zebra Swallowtail is Pawpaw (Asimina triloba).
