  1. Short-tailed Swallowtails (Papilio brevicauda) are much rarer and more localized than Black Swallowtail. Coastal marshes, dunes and headlands where the host plant, Scotch Lovage, grows within 100 meters of the ocean. Very restricted distribution – its global range is restricted to areas surrounding the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We saw these in the Iles-de-la-Madeleine.
