The Heraclides thoas, also known as the King Swallowtail or Thoas Swallowtail, is a gorgeous butterfly found in tropical and subtropical parts of the Americas. With its bold patterns and smooth, fluttery flight, it looks like a little piece of moving artwork.

These butterflies are super adaptable and can be found in all kinds of places, like rainforests, savannas, gardens, and open fields. The adults are strong fliers and are often seen gliding through sunny spots or hovering around flowers for a quick nectar snack. Besides being nice to look at, they also help pollinate tropical plants, which makes them pretty important in their environment.

Their caterpillars are just as cool. When they're young, they actually look like bird droppings. A genius little trick to keep predators away but a little gross (a cool gross though). As they grow, they turn into chubby green larvae with fake eyes that look like a snake's head, giving them an extra layer of defense. It's just another layer of mystery that the Heraclides Thoas surrounds itself with.
