Papilio multicaudata, the two-tailed swallowtail, is a species of the family Papilionidae found in western North America from British Columbia to Central America.
The two-tailed swallowtail is a large swallowtail of western North America, one of several species that have yellow wings with black tiger striping. Each hindwing has several blue markings (top and bottom). Like other striped swallowtails, it has a small orange eyespot near the lower angle of each hindwing; the eyespots can fool predators into attacking the rear of the butterfly instead of the head, giving the butterfly a chance to escape. Its appearance is similar to the western, and eastern tiger swallowtails, but has narrower black stripes and usually two tails on each hindwing (rather than only one). Most Two-tails have a black "slit pupil" in the orange eyespot on each hindwing, never present in western tiger. It is also usually larger than similar swallowtails within its range, although some eastern tiger swallowtails are as big as any two-tailed. The wingspan ranges from 3 to 6.5 inches, making it the largest swallowtail in western North America. As is the case with most swallowtails, females are larger and more brightly colored than males, having more blue and orange markings on the hindwings. It does not tend to hybridize with related species as do the western, eastern, and Canadian tiger swallowtails.
The Old World swallowtail (Papilio machaon) is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. The butterfly is also known as the common yellow swallowtail or simply the swallowtail (a common name applied to all members of the family, but this species is the 'original', first to go by the name). It is the type species of the genus Papilio and occurs throughout the Palearctic region in Europe and Asia; it also occurs across North America, and thus, is not restricted to the Old World, despite the common name.
The imago typically has yellow wings with black vein markings, and a wingspan of 65–86 millimetres (2.6–3.4 in). The hind wings of both sexes have a pair of protruding tails which give the butterfly its common name from the resemblance to the birds of the same name. Just below each tail is a red eye spot.
It can be distinguished from Papilio hospiton, which occurs sympatrically with it on Corsica and Sardinia, by the longer "tails" on the hind wings. It can be told apart from the Algerian species Papilio saharae only by counting the segments on the antennae.

La mariposa Papilio multicaudata es una de las mariposas de ciudad mas grandes y llamativas que podemos apreciar, podemos distinguirla por su patron de siete barras negras en las alas anteriores, las primeras dos barras, cercanas al apice del ala, son completas, es decir que cortan completamente el patron del ala, seguida de estas se encuentran tres barras negras truncadas a diferentes distancias y despues otras dos barras negras que nuevamente son completas, generalmente esta ariposa vuela muy alto, sin embargo es muy comun que baje a buscar plantas o flores de las cuales alimentarse. tiene una gran distribución por todo el continente.

Como el mismo título indica, en el video se puede apreciar como la oruga de la Papilio se transforma en una bella crisalida, de la cual saldrá la mariposa totalmente formada.

DESCRIPTION The caterpillar of the swallowtail (Papilio machaon) uses some very sophisticated tools made of silk, in order to connect its body and later on the chrysalis to a branch. Primarily the caterpillar covers the branch with a basic red of silk, followed by weaving a silk cushion (ø 1,5 mm), which is made of lots of tiny silk loops. Weaving these silk loops the caterpillar uses its front legs in order to arrange them properly (see 00:50 until 01:34). When the weaving of the cushion is done the caterpillar connects its final end of the body to the cushion. Thereafter, the well-known belt is woven and positioned between segment 5 and segment 6. Finally the caterpillar liberates all extremities from the branch. DESCRIPCIÓN La oruga del macaón (Papilio machaon) está usando algunas her...
