''Papilio appalachiensis'', the Appalachian tiger swallowtail, is a species of swallowtail butterfly found in the eastern United States, particularly in the Appalachian Mountains. It is a hybrid of another two ''Papilio'' species, ''Papilio canadensis'' and ''Papilio glaucus'', with which it shares many characteristics. The butterflies are normally yellow and contain black patterns in their wings. Their wingspans range from 86 to 115 mm. The caterpillars range in color from green and yellow to orange and are ornamented with black specks that give them the appearance of a bird dropping, which is useful for camouflage, or a large eye, a form of mimicry that is also efficient for protection. This species is univoltine. Females lay their eggs in May. ==Taxonomy== ''Papilio appalachiensis'' is a member of the Lepidoptera order and ''Papilio'' genus.〔 ''P. appalachiensis'' is considered to be a hybrid of two other members of the ''Papilio'' genus: ''Papilio canadensis'' and ''Papilio glaucus''.〔
