Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Pewter Pin
The Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Pin captures North America's most recognizable yellow butterfly—the species that graces gardens from coast to coast with distinctive black tiger stripes on bright yellow wings. The long tail streamers and bold pattern make tiger swallowtails favorites of butterfly watchers, especially when they gather at mud puddles to extract minerals in a behavior called puddling.
Essential for butterfly gardeners, especially those who plant tulip trees and wild cherry that serve as host plants for tiger swallowtail caterpillars. This pin represents the joy of summer gardens, the importance of native plants, and the distinctive beauty of one of our most common yet beloved butterflies.
Choose from multiple finishes to complement your aesthetic. Built with materials sourced from long-established U.S. suppliers and finished by hand in Washington. It's wearable art that celebrates the butterfly that brings sunshine to summer gardens.
