The
Pipevine swallowtail
(
Battus philenor
) is a
swallowtail butterfly
found in
North
and
Central America
. Its
common name
derives from the fact that
caterpillars
of this species feed on
pipevine
plants, which makes them unpalatable to
predators
. Because of this, it is
mimicked
by other butterfly species.
