Swallowtails are among the largest butterflies in the world and have been depicted in art since ancient China, where the butterfly (húdié) is a symbol of joy and conjugal happiness. The distinctive "tails" on their hindwings inspired their name.

Most swallowtails have yellow or cream wing panels with black veining. Work from the yellow base outward, adding crisp black bands and borders last. The distinctive tail extensions can be colored with subtle gradients from yellow-green to blue.
